Article Synopsis
- The Gram-negative outer membrane protects bacteria from antibiotics, detergents, and environmental threats, aided by virulence factors like DolP, a lipoprotein crucial for maintaining membrane integrity.
- DolP has a unique structure with two BON domains that help it bind to anionic phospholipids, which is vital for its function and localization during cell division.
- Understanding DolP's structure opens up possibilities for new treatments aimed at breaking down the bacterial cell envelope, potentially making bacteria more vulnerable to antibiotics.
The genome sequence of the human pathogen bv. mitis strain ISS 3319 was determined and closed in this study. The genome is estimated to have 2,404,936 bp encoding 2,257 proteins.
