Prokaryotic Membrances Minisymposium

Molecular Microbiology Young Microbiologists Minisymposium - Prokaryotic Membranes

Friday October 12, Jacques Monod Amphithéâtre; Institut Pasteur, 25 rue du Dr. Roux, Paris 15

Presentations include:

  • Cleavage of EspA, an autotransporter produced by E. coli O157:H7
  • The flexible organization of Neisserial autotransporters
  • Multimerisation and insertion of secretin in the E. coli outer membrane
  • Spontaneous folding of outer membrane proteins: new insights from biophysical studies
  • Lipoteichoic acid synthesis in Staphylococcus aureus
  • Membrane protein interactions associated with cell division and cell wall biosynthesis in B. subtilis.
  • Periodic focal adhesion complexes in bacterial motility.
  • The OmpATb protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: characterization of its pore forming activity and regulation of its expression towards its role in pathogenic mycobacteria.
  • Activation of the outer membrane transporter FimD requires critical interactions with the N-terminal domain of FimH adhesin during type I fimbria assembly in E. coli
  • Chaperone antoganism
  • Protein–protein interaction between the envelope stress kinase CpxA and its inhibitor CpxP.
  • Membrane insertion of mechanosensitive channel protein MscL
  • Structure of the heterotrimeric complex that regulates type III secretion needle formation.
  • The dynamics and spatial organization of membrane localized phage shock.
