Another paper from the lab. The now Dr. Ng, @weilynnng , describes how the nucleoid associated protein, Lsr2, helps promote chromosomal mutagenesis in mycobacteria.

Lots of cool imaging went into this work (time-lapse 3D-SIM, biosensors, etc). It wouldn't have been possible without the efforts of Lin Shao @shaomumu who built our microscope, and made our analysis methods more robust and scalable.

This led to several surprising insights about the metabolism of mycobacteria at the single cell level. Specifically we show that the complexes that perform OXPHOS are spatially segregated from those that grow the bacterium. And metabolism changes as individual mycobacteria age.

Really excited about this work from the lab. @celenagwin, together with @Kuldeep_R_Gupta, worked to understand how mycobacteria create heterogeneity in growth.

Awesome opportunity to work with a great person!.

Studying a protein of unknown function is not for the faint of heart. We had many misdirections along the way, and there is still much to discover. Most importantly, we had loads of help from amazing collaborators: @ymoritalab, @JunLiuLab, and Ben Swarts' lab at CMU.

@Kuldeep_R_Gupta, working together with @celenagwin, discovered that a protein of unknown function in mycobacteria (PgfA) is recruited to one side of the cell by our favorite protein LamA, where it coordinates lipid trafficking and fast polar growth.

Really excited and proud of this work out of our lab.
