We are so excited to announce that Malavika’s paper is now in press in Journal of Biological Chemistry. The title of her paper is “Proton gradient controls the lateral rearrangement of inner membrane domains in response to membrane fluidizer stress in Mycobacterium smegmatis“. This work showed for the first time that the stress-induced redistribution of the IMD requires energy from the chemical gradient of the proton. Congratulations Malavika!
