Paper of the month: March 2013
- The mechanism of membrane fission in bacteria has been a long-standing enigma. Now, Doan et al.. from the lab of David Rudner demonstrate how the FisB protein (previously YunB) mediates membrane fission during sporulation This activity of FisB is based on its ability to bind to lipids, specifically to cardiolipin..
