  • Bacterial Secretion: Caught in The
    RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS IN BRIEF VIRAL INFECTION ΦX174 crosses the border Tailed phages transport their genomes into bacterial cells using their tail, whereas most tail-less phages use a host cell-encoded channel. One interesting exception is the icosahedral phage ΦX174, which is devoid of an external tail but instead uses the genome-associated DNA pilot protein H for DNA delivery. Sun et al. solved the crystal structure of protein H at 2.4 Å resolution and showed that its ten identical α-helical monomers are organized into a 170 Å-long α-barrel. This decameric coiled-coil contains transmembrane domains at each end, which may anchor the channel to the bacterial inner and outer cell membranes. The authors further found that H protein oligomerization is important for infectivity but not for particle formation. Using cryo-electon tomography, they went on to show that, following attachment of the ΦX174‑like phage ST‑1 to Escherichia coli mini cells, the virus extrudes a putative H tube for DNA transport across the periplasmic space. This tube is disassembled after DNA translocation. ORIGINAL RESEARCH PAPER Sun, L. et al. Icosahedral bacteriophage ΦX174 forms a tail for DNA transport during infection. Nature http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature12816 (2013) CELLULAR MICROBIOLOGY Getting moving in the cytoplasm In contrast to eukaryotes, bacteria lack cytoskeletal motor proteins and thus rely on diffusion for intracellular transport. The physical properties of the bacterial cytoplasm, which determine cytoplasmic dynamics and thus influence intracellular processes, are poorly understood. Using single-particle tracking of cellular components, such as poly- hydroxyalkanoate storage granules and crescentin filaments, as well as foreign particles, the authors show that the bacterial cytoplasm has similar characteristics to glass-forming liquids.

These Introducing various organisms are usually invisible to naked eye because Branches of Microbiology they are in micron size. Our eye fails to perceive any object that has a diameter less than 0.1 mm, so it is necessary to use microscope to see these tiny forms of life. However, some micro-organisms, particularly some eukaryotic microbes, are visible without microscopes. For example, bread molds and filamentous algae are studied by microbiologists, yet are visible to the naked eye, as are the two bacteria Thiomargarita and Epulopiscioum.

  • Epigenetics and Cellular Microbiology Lab
    Epigenetics and Cellular Microbiology Lab Micalis Institute, INRAE Jouy-en-Josas, France Post-doctoral or engineer positions: Role of secreted bacterial effectors in the regulation of host RNA splicing and RNA metabolism A post-doctoral or engineer position (depending on the applications received) is available from March 2021 in our research group “Epigenetics and Cellular Microbiology” at the Micalis Institute (a mixed research unit INRAE- AgroParisTech-Paris-Saclay University from the Microbiology Department of the INRAE). Our lab is located in Jouy-en-Josas, in the Paris area (20 km south-west of Paris and 5 km east of Versailles). Scientific environment. We are an international and collaborative team interested in understanding how bacterial infection impacts host cell physiology with a special focus on RNA metabolism. We address novel and original questions in the field of host-pathogen interaction by using L. monocytogenes as bacterial model. We work in a dynamic atmosphere where collaborations and initiatives are welcome. Background and context. Pathogenic bacteria secrete protein effectors called virulence factors to hijack cellular pathways to their own benefit. Almost all of effectors characterized thus far act on host proteins or DNA. Bacterial effectors able to target host RNA have not been reported. We have solid evidence that L. monocytogenes targets host RNA and splicing machinery via secreted virulence factors. We want to elucidate this novel facet of host- pathogen interaction and therefore pave the way for a new field of research focused on bacterial-mediated regulation of RNA Mission. The position is available within the context of a recently obtained ANR grant.
