Abstract: The soluble lytic transglycosylase Cj0843c from Campylobacter jejuni breaks down cell-wall peptidoglycan (PG). Its nonhydrolytic activity sustains cell-wall remodeling and repair. We report herein our structure-function studies probing the substrate preferences and recognition by this… read more here.

Abstract: Flagellar biogenesis is a highly orchestrated event where the flagellar structure spans the bacterial cell envelope. The rod diameter of approximately 4 nm is larger than the estimated pore size of the peptidoglycan layer; hence,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/jvi.01063-22
Abstract: The evidence for the presence of a diverse and abundant phage population in the host-associated oral microbiome came largely from metagenomic analysis or the observation of virus-like particles within saliva/plaque samples, while the isolation of… read more here.
