Latest preprint from our lab: Mis-localization of PBPs in Staphylococcus aureus gdpP mutant contributes to β-lactam resistance and surface protein cross-wall trafficking biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Mis-localization of PBPs in Staphylococcus aureus gdpP mutant contributes to β-lactam resistance...

Mutations in gdpP are frequently associated with β-lactam resistance in Staphylococcus aureus . GdpP is a phosphodiesterase that degrades the second messenger c-di-AMP, which plays a key role in...

SpsB is more than a signal peptidase! I'm excited of the findings in this paper and proud of the work from our team!

Very excited to share our latest preprint: a breakthrough in surface protein trafficking that we've studied for a long time. Perhaps more important is, the beauty of synchronized cell envelope biogenesis.

The latest preprint from the lab is up. Here we asked how the cell responds when pilus biogenesis goes off the rails in E. faecalis. 😱 Come for the chaperone/protease action, stay for the WEIRD morphologies & two component system induction. 👇

A lot to celebrate in our lab this week! Sal successfully passed oral exam! Ran got the 1st prize oral presentation at FLASM meeting! I'm so happy especially for Ran, as oral presentation has been very challenging for her. She worked so hard and now here is the prize! #proudPI
