Psonis J, Chahales P, Henderson N, Rigel N, Hoffman P, Thanassi D
J Biol Chem . 2019 Aug; 294(39):14357-14369. PMID: 31391254
Bacterial pathogens assemble adhesive surface structures termed pili or fimbriae to initiate and sustain infection of host tissues. Uropathogenic , the primary causative agent of urinary tract infections, expresses type...

Miller B, Hughes R, Ligon L, Rigel N, Malik S, Anjuwon-Foster B, et al.
Elife . 2019 Jan; 8. PMID: 30604681
The SecA2 protein export system is critical for the virulence of . However, the mechanism of this export pathway remains unclear. Through a screen for suppressors of a mutant, we...

Gwin C, Prakash N, Belisario J, Haider L, Rosen M, Martinez L, et al.
Microbiology (Reading) . 2018 Oct; 164(12):1547-1556. PMID: 30307391
Directing the flow of protein traffic is a critical task faced by all cellular organisms. In Gram-negative bacteria, this traffic includes lipoproteins. Lipoproteins are synthesized as precursors in the cytoplasm...

Konovalova A, Grabowicz M, Balibar C, Malinverni J, Painter R, Riley D, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2018 Jun; 115(28):E6614-E6621. PMID: 29941590
The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria forms a robust permeability barrier that blocks entry of toxins and antibiotics. Most OM proteins (OMPs) assume a β-barrel fold, and some form...

Swanson S, Ioerger T, Rigel N, Miller B, Braunstein M, Sacchettini J
J Bacteriol . 2015 Dec; 198(4):720-30. PMID: 26668263
Unlabelled: While SecA is the ATPase component of the major bacterial secretory (Sec) system, mycobacteria and some Gram-positive pathogens have a second paralog, SecA2. In bacteria with two SecA paralogs,...

Ligon L, Rigel N, Romanchuk A, Jones C, Braunstein M
J Bacteriol . 2013 Aug; 195(19):4456-65. PMID: 23913320
All bacteria use the conserved Sec pathway to transport proteins across the cytoplasmic membrane, with the SecA ATPase playing a central role in the process. Mycobacteria are part of a...

Rigel N, Ricci D, Silhavy T
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2013 Mar; 110(13):5151-6. PMID: 23479609
In gram-negative bacteria, integral outer membrane β-barrel proteins (OMPs) are assembled by the beta-barrel assembly machine (Bam) complex. The essential components of this complex are the OMP BamA [which contains...

Rigel N, Silhavy T
Curr Opin Microbiol . 2012 Jan; 15(2):189-93. PMID: 22221898
The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria is an essential organelle that serves as a selective permeability barrier by keeping toxic compounds out of the cell while allowing vital nutrients...
