spxA2, encoding a regulator of stress resistance in Bacillus anthracis, is controlled by SaiR, a new member of the Rrf2 protein family
Nakano M, Kominos-Marvell W, Sane B, Nader Y, Barendt S, Jones M, et al.
Mol Microbiol . 2014 Sep; 94(4):815-27. PMID: 25231235
Spx, a member of the ArsC (arsenate reductase) protein family, is conserved in Gram-positive bacteria, and interacts with RNA polymerase to activate transcription in response to toxic oxidants. In Bacillus...

Recent advances in pneumococcal peptidoglycan biosynthesis suggest new vaccine and antimicrobial targets
Sham L, Tsui H, Land A, Barendt S, Winkler M
Curr Opin Microbiol . 2012 Jan; 15(2):194-203. PMID: 22280885
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a serious human respiratory pathogen that has the capacity to evade capsule-based vaccines and to develop multidrug antibiotic resistance. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the...

Essential PcsB putative peptidoglycan hydrolase interacts with the essential FtsXSpn cell division protein in Streptococcus pneumoniae D39
Sham L, Barendt S, Kopecky K, Winkler M
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2011 Oct; 108(45):E1061-9. PMID: 22006325
The connection between peptidoglycan remodeling and cell division is poorly understood in ellipsoid-shaped ovococcus bacteria, such as the human respiratory pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae. In S. pneumoniae, peptidoglycan homeostasis and stress...

Phenotype enhancement screen of a regulatory spx mutant unveils a role for the ytpQ gene in the control of iron homeostasis
Zuber P, Chauhan S, Pilaka P, Nakano M, Gurumoorthy S, Lin A, et al.
PLoS One . 2011 Sep; 6(9):e25066. PMID: 21949854
Spx is a global regulator of genes that are induced by disulfide stress in Bacillus subtilis. The regulon that it governs is comprised of over 120 genes based on microarray...

Characterization of mutants deficient in the L,D-carboxypeptidase (DacB) and WalRK (VicRK) regulon, involved in peptidoglycan maturation of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 2 strain D39
Barendt S, Sham L, Winkler M
J Bacteriol . 2011 Mar; 193(9):2290-300. PMID: 21378199
Peptidoglycan (PG) hydrolases play critical roles in the remodeling of bacterial cell walls during division. PG hydrolases have been studied extensively in several bacillus species, such as Escherichia coli and...

Localization and cellular amounts of the WalRKJ (VicRKX) two-component regulatory system proteins in serotype 2 Streptococcus pneumoniae
Wayne K, Sham L, Tsui H, Gutu A, Barendt S, Keen S, et al.
J Bacteriol . 2010 Jul; 192(17):4388-94. PMID: 20622066
The WalRK two-component regulatory system coordinates gene expression that maintains cell wall homeostasis and responds to antibiotic stress in low-GC Gram-positive bacteria. Phosphorylated WalR (VicR) of the major human respiratory...

Influences of capsule on cell shape and chain formation of wild-type and pcsB mutants of serotype 2 Streptococcus pneumoniae
Barendt S, Land A, Sham L, Ng W, Tsui H, Arnold R, et al.
J Bacteriol . 2009 Mar; 191(9):3024-40. PMID: 19270090
PcsB is a protein of unknown function that plays a critical role in cell division in Streptococcus pneumoniae and other ovococcus species of Streptococcus. We constructed isogenic sets of mutants...
