Herrou J, Murat D, Mignot T
Curr Opin Microbiol . 2024 Jun; 80:102492. PMID: 38843560
Myxococcus relies on motility to efficiently invade and predate a prey colony. Upon contact with prey, Myxococcus temporarily halts its motility and initiates prey cell lysis, which involves two contact-dependent...

Taillefer B, Grandjean M, Herrou J, Robert D, Mignot T, Sebban-Kreuzer C, et al.
Bio Protoc . 2023 Jul; 13(13):e4706. PMID: 37449039
In the environment, bacteria compete for niche occupancy and resources; they have, therefore, evolved a broad variety of antibacterial weapons to destroy competitors. Current laboratory techniques to evaluate antibacterial activity...

Islam S, Jolivet N, Cuzin C, Belgrave A, My L, Fleuchot B, et al.
Sci Adv . 2023 Feb; 9(8):eabq0619. PMID: 36812310
The predatory deltaproteobacterium Myxococcus xanthus uses a helically-trafficked motor at bacterial focal-adhesion (bFA) sites to power gliding motility. Using total internal reflection fluorescence and force microscopies, we identify the von...

Seef S, Herrou J, de Boissier P, My L, Brasseur G, Robert D, et al.
Elife . 2021 Sep; 10. PMID: 34505573
, a soil bacterium, predates collectively using motility to invade prey colonies. Prey lysis is mostly thought to rely on secreted factors, cocktails of antibiotics and enzymes, and direct contact...

Dinet C, Michelot A, Herrou J, Mignot T
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci . 2021 Jan; 376(1820):20190755. PMID: 33487114
Social bacteria display complex behaviours whereby thousands of cells collectively and dramatically change their form and function in response to nutrient availability and changing environmental conditions. In this review, we...

Mercier R, Bautista S, Delannoy M, Gibert M, Guiseppi A, Herrou J, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2020 Oct; 117(45):28366-28373. PMID: 33093210
Type IV pili (Tfp) are highly conserved macromolecular structures that fulfill diverse cellular functions, such as adhesion to host cells, the import of extracellular DNA, kin recognition, and cell motility...

Guiseppi A, Vicente J, Herrou J, Byrne D, Barneoud A, Moine A, et al.
PLoS Genet . 2019 Dec; 15(12):e1008533. PMID: 31860666
Chemosensory systems are highly organized signaling pathways that allow bacteria to adapt to environmental changes. The Frz chemosensory system from M. xanthus possesses two CheW-like proteins, FrzA (the core CheW)...

Galicia C, Lhospice S, Varela P, Trapani S, Zhang W, Navaza J, et al.
Nat Commun . 2019 Nov; 10(1):5300. PMID: 31757955
In Myxococcus xanthus, directed movement is controlled by pole-to-pole oscillations of the small GTPase MglA and its GAP MglB. Direction reversals require that MglA is inactivated by MglB, yet paradoxically...
9.
Herrou J, Mignot T
Curr Opin Cell Biol . 2019 Oct; 62:54-60. PMID: 31627169
In bacteria, cell polarization involves the controlled targeting of specific proteins to the poles, defining polar identity and function. How a specific protein is targeted to one pole and what...

Baranwal J, Lhospice S, Kanade M, Chakraborty S, Gade P, Harne S, et al.
PLoS Biol . 2019 Sep; 17(9):e3000459. PMID: 31560685
Mutual gliding motility A (MglA), a small Ras-like GTPase; Mutual gliding motility B (MglB), its GTPase activating protein (GAP); and Required for Motility Response Regulator (RomR), a protein that contains...
