MinD2 modulates cell shape and motility in the archaeon Haloferax volcanii
Published in Frontiers in Microbiology, 2024
About the paper:
In this study, we investigated the role of MinD2 in controlling cell shape and motility in the model archaeon Haloferax volcanii.
Our findings show that MinD2 has a unique regulatory influence on cytoskeletal organization and cellular dynamics, distinct from bacterial MinD homologs.
I contributed by performing and analyzing RNA-seq, helping to understand the links between intracellular organization and environmental adaptability in archaea.
This work expands our understanding of the functional diversity of MinD-family proteins beyond bacterial systems.
