* Biofilms of ''B. subtilis'' consist of cells in a matrix made up of extracellular polysaccharides, the amyloid-like [[TasA]] protein, and the hydrophobic protein [[BslA]]. Now, [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23904481 Hobley et al.] from the lab of [[Nicola Stanley-Wall]] determined the structure of [[BslA]] and found that the protein has an extremely hydrophobic cap domain that acts like a raincoat for the biofilm. The authors suggest that [[BslA]] is a bacterial hydrophobin.

* To initiate [[DNA replication]], the [[DnaC|DNA helicase]] has to bind the ''oriC'' region of the chromosome. This binding is assisted by the [[DnaI|helicase loader protein]]. Moreover, the [[DnaC|DNA helicase]] recruits the [[DnaG|DNA primase]] to synthesize RNA primers. Now, [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24048025 Liu et al.] determined the structure of the [[DnaC]]-[[DnaI]]-[[DnaG]] complex and present novel insights into insights the mechanism of bacterial primosome assembly.

News in SubtiWiki:

  • April 2013: SubtiWiki uses a new, faster Mediawiki platform! The times for page access are significantly reduced. Enjoy!
  • March 2013: updated Excel files that map all genes to categories and regulons as well as the general updated identity mapping of all genes were uploaded.
  • October 2012: the essential genes have been categorized
  • September 2012: 300 mutant strains available at the BGSC were added to the corresponding gene pages
  • August 2012: SubtiExpress, the new compagnon of SubtiWiki devoted to gene expression is online! Try it out!
  • April 2012: Links for expression data under 104 different conditions (based on Nicolas et al., 2012) have been added to the expression section of the individual gene pages
  • April 2011: SubtInteract, a presentation of protein-protein interactions in B. subtilis, is online!
  • December 2010: SubtiCellPublisher allows the conversion of CellDesigner diagrams to navigatable presentations in the style of SubtiPathways
  • December 2010: all genes are linked to regulons, and the pages of the regulons provide an overview on all genes that are members of this specific regulon.
  • December 2010: all genes/proteins are linked to categories, and the pages of the categories provide an overview on all genes/proteins that are members of this specific category.
