The Solution Structures and Interaction of SinR and SinI: Elucidating the Mechanism of Action of the Master Regulator Switch for Biofilm Formation in Bacillus subtilis

JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, 432(2), 343–357.

By: M. Milton*, G. Draughn n, B. Bobay n, S. Stowe n, A. Olson n, E. Feldmann n, R. Thompson*, K. Myers n ...

author keywords: Biofilms; Bacillus subtilis; Transcriptional regulation; NMR solution structure
MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence / genetics; Bacillus subtilis / genetics; Bacillus subtilis / ultrastructure; Bacterial Proteins / chemistry; Bacterial Proteins / genetics; Bacterial Proteins / ultrastructure; Biofilms / growth & development; DNA-Binding Proteins / chemistry; DNA-Binding Proteins / genetics; DNA-Binding Proteins / ultrastructure; Gene Expression Regulation, Bacterial / genetics; Molecular Docking Simulation; Mutation / genetics; Protein Binding / genetics; Protein Conformation
TL;DR: This work presents the first full-length structural model of tetrameric SinR using a hybrid approach combining high-resolution solution NMR, chemical crosslinking, mass spectrometry, and molecular docking, and provides an evidence-based mechanism that confirms how disruption of the SinR tetramer by SinI regulates gene expression.

Membrane-Permeabilizing Activity of Reverse-Amide 2-Aminoimidazole Antibiofilm Agents Against Acinetobacter baumannii

CURRENT DRUG DELIVERY, 12(2), 223–230.

By: S. Stowe*, R. Thompson*, L. Peng*, Z. Su*, M. Blackledge*, G. Draughn, W. Coe, E. Johannes* ...

author keywords: 2-aminoimidazole; Acinetobacter baumannii; biofilm; membrane permeabilization; reverse amide; SEM
MeSH headings : Acinetobacter baumannii / drug effects; Amides / chemistry; Anti-Bacterial Agents / chemistry; Anti-Bacterial Agents / pharmacology; Biofilms / drug effects; Cell Membrane Permeability / drug effects; Cells, Cultured; Cross Infection; Imidazoles / chemistry; Imidazoles / pharmacology; Microbial Sensitivity Tests
TL;DR: A model is proposed that describes how the structure of RA-2AI allows it to insert itself into and disrupt the fluidity of the membrane, creating an opportunity for increased molecular permeability. (via Semantic Scholar)
