#caulobacter — Public Fediverse posts

#Bacteria have a #DNAdamage response to aberrant #DNAmethylation, but how do they sense this damage? @Aditya_Kamat96 @Tung_BK_Le @dnarepairlab &co describe a TF that regulates a methylation-specific DNA damage response in #Caulobacter #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3v7pdkD

yes, this!
"Everything you ever wanted to know about #Caulobacter and its development as a model for bacterial cell and developmental biology."
Kudos to @[email protected] for this comprehensive introduction to our fave model system! says @goleylab

Phase Separation of Scaffold Protein Regulates Microbial Asymmetric Cell Division
http://microbiologycommunity.nature.com/posts/phase-separation-of-scaffold-protein-regulates-microbial-asymmetric-cell-division

Phase separation modulates the assembly and dynamics of a polarity-related scaffold-signaling hub https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-35000-2

As a well-established model to study bacterial asymmetric cell division, #Caulobacter crescentus produces a motile swarmer cell and a sessile stalked cell during each cell cycle.

DNA life preservers. #Caulobacter produces #prophage-like gene transfer agent that mediates survival in DNA damaging conditions by providing genomic DNA from donor cells for #recombination-based repair in recipients @Tung_BK_Le @michael_laub8 #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3E0EyVR

Cool work from the Brun lab - an #amyloid fiber holds the #Caulobacter super glue holdfast to the cell pole
