The role of the phasin PhaP in promoting polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) granule formation in Caulobacter crescentus
… we have studied PHB accumulation in Caulobacter crescentus. Under conditions of nitrogen limitation but with abundant glucose available, C. crescentus accumulates PHB to ~12% of its cdw. We have quantitatively examined the levels of the PHB synthase, the major granuleassociated protein PhaP and …

Global analysis of the transcriptional regulation of Sinorhizobium meliloti cell cycle progression and study of cell cycle regulation during symbiosis with Medicago sativa
… an [alpha]-proteobacterium besides Caulobacter crescentus, which is the current model for [alpha]-proteobacterial cell cycle studies. The importance of transcriptional regulation of cell cycle progression was first discovered in C. crescentus and the work presented in this thesis highlights the …

Quantitative Modeling of the Molecular Mechanism Controlling the Asymmetric Cell Division Cycle in <i>Caulobacter crescentus</i>
<i>Caulobacter crescentus</i> is an important model organism for studying regulation of cell growth, division and differentiation in prokaryotes. <i>C. crescentus</i> undergoes asymmetric division producing two progeny cells with identical genome but different developmental programs: the "swarmer" …

A deadly hug : contact-dependent killing by Caulobacter crescentus, via cell surface-associated glycine-zipper proteins
… where the a-proteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus thrives. Here, I describe the discovery and characterization of a new type of bacteriocin in C. crescentus. The Cdz toxin is composed of two small hydrophobic proteins, each harboring an extended glycine-zipper motif often found in …

Interaction between the AAA+ protease CIpXP and the adaptor protein SspB
… CIpX-SspB interactions in Caulobacter crescentus and Escherichia coli. Despite little sequence homology, C. crescentus SspB (ccSspBa) and E. coli SspB (EcSspB) are able to interact with CIpX from either species. We analyzed these interactions to understand how the N-terminal domain of …

Structural insights into the folding of cohesin and the membrane binding of bactofilin
… functions, from cell stalk formation in C. crescentus to chromosome segregation in M. xanthus. However, the precise molecular architecture of their filaments has remained unclear. Here, I determine the atomic coordinates of the Thermus thermophilus bactofilin (TtBac) monomer, the lack of …

The participation of the partitioning protein para in the coordination of the bacterial cell cycle in Caulobacter crescentus
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2025-10-19 without embargo terms

Mathematical Model of the Cell Cycle Control and Asymmetry Development in Caulobacter crescentus
Caulobacter crescentus goes through a classic dimorphic cell division cycle to adapt to the stringent environment and reduce intraspecific competition. Caulobacter mother cell gives rise to two progenies with distinct morphology - a motile swarmer cell equipped with a flagellum and a sessile …
