First author Hayashi and her advisor Morita demonstrate the existence of a distinct domain, or area, on the bacteria's plasma membrane that is crucial for the cell's ability to grow. Morita says ...

Gram-positive bacteria and archaea have only one membrane system, the plasma membrane, which separates the inside of the cell from the outside environment. Gram-negative bacteria contain two ...

By a mechanism independent of the adaptor RIP2 and transcription factor NF-κB, Nod1 and Nod2 recruited the autophagy protein ATG16L1 to the plasma membrane at the bacterial entry site.

Image of Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria trapped in a host cell. A UTSW study found that this foodborne pathogen modifies cholesterol found in a cell's plasma membrane to exit and infect new cells.

His tour-de-force experiment, Haswell says, involved reconstituting fractions of the bacterial plasma membrane into synthetic membranes (liposomes) to see whether they would confer large-channel ...

Gram-negative bacteria are a major cause of disease, in part because they have a robust outer membrane that protects against the immune system and certain antibiotics. They can live in a broad range ...

Yet despite close scrutiny, scientists have been unable to determine the exact mechanism by which the bacterial DNA crosses the plant's so-called plasma membrane. The results of research published ...
