Phase Separation in the Outer Membrane of Escherichia Coli

Presented by Georgina Benn, Ph.D., Silhavy lab, Princeton University, USA (February 9, 2022)

NEXT SESSION

_{PRESENTATION HIGHLIGHTS:}

[00:00:28] What is e. coli?
[00:03:55] Experimental setup
[00:05:30] Generating and examining nanometre maps of the bateria surface
[00:08:27] Process and outcomes of chemically labeling OmpF with CoIN-mCherry
[00:11:30] Identifying phase separated LPS
[00:14:22] Mislocalizing phospholipids in the cell membrane
[00:17:25] Conclusion & Q/A

Abstract:

The outer membrane protects Gram-negative bacteria against toxins and antibiotics, thereby contributing to antimicrobial resistance. However, relatively little is known about how the constituents of this vital membrane are organised. By combining labelling and genetics with atomic force microscopy we determine, at molecular resolution, the organisation of the outer membrane of living Escherichia coli. This allows us to conclude that the outer membrane is a mosaic of phase-separated lipopolysaccharide and protein regions, the maintenance of which is essential to the integrity of the membrane during growth and hence to the lifestyle of a Gram-negative bacterium.

Abstract:

AFM-STED correlative microscopy was presented for the first time in 2012. In the last decade, this integrated technology has been employed to overcome some of the limits of single technique analysis. In this talk, the development of AFM-STED microscopy will be reviewed, starting from the motivation that drove the development of the first system to recent applications.
