Byeon C, Kinney T, Saricayir H, Hansen K, Scott F, Scott F, et al.
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
. 2025 Jan;
e202418146.
PMID: 39777964
Bacterial biofilms are major contributors to persistent infections and antimicrobial resistance, posing significant challenges to treatment. However, obtaining high-resolution structural information on native bacterial biofilms has remained elusive due to...

PMID: 39386544
Bacterial biofilms cause persistent infections that are difficult to treat and contribute greatly to antimicrobial resistance. However, high-resolution structural information on native bacterial biofilms remain very limited. This limitation is...

. 2024 Sep;
134:101970.
PMID: 39312837
We present a high-resolution magic-angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR (ssNMR) study to characterize nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). We studied two different NTM strains, Mycobacterium smegmatis, a model, non-pathogenic strain, and Mycobacterium...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2024 Aug;
121(33):e2406775121.
PMID: 39116134
Biofilm-protected pathogenic causes chronic infections that are difficult to treat. An essential building block of these biofilms are functional amyloid fibrils that assemble from phenol-soluble modulins (PSMs). PSMα1 cross-seeds other...

FEBS J
. 2024 Feb;
291(9):1925-1943.
PMID: 38349812
Functional bacterial amyloids play a crucial role in the formation of biofilms, which mediate chronic infections and contribute to antimicrobial resistance. This study focuses on the FapC amyloid fibrillar protein...

PMID: 37984030
We present a multidimensional magic-angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR (ssNMR) study to characterize native Pseudomonas fluorescens colony biofilms at natural abundance without isotope-labelling. By using a high-resolution INEPT-based 2D H-C...

Biomol NMR Assign
. 2023 Oct;
17(2):275-280.
PMID: 37798606
FapA is an accessory protein within the biofilm forming functional bacterial amyloid related fap-operon in Pseudomonas, and maybe a chaperone for FapC controlling its fibrillization. To allow further structural analysis,...

Biomol NMR Assign
. 2023 May;
17(2):159-165.
PMID: 37162737
Functional bacterial amyloids provide structural scaffolding to bacterial biofilms. In contrast to the pathological amyloids, they have a role in vivo and are tightly regulated. Their presence is essential to...
