According to Alphafold3 predictions and homology modeling, the Mpc complex is composed of an octameric lipoprotein MpcA anchored at the outer membrane, interacting with a hexameric tunnel-like MpcD, itself associated with an inner membrane complex comprising MpcE and MpcF ATPase. Absence of the Mpc complex modifies the lipid composition of outer membrane vesicles, suggesting that Mpc could be involved in lipid transport between inner and outer membrane.

Great work by Adélie Lannoy on Brucella abortus, just published in The EMBO Journal www.embopress.org/doi/full/10..... Thanks to fantastic collaborators! An enigmatic, perhaps ancestral, protein complex predicted as a tunnel-like structure between membranes. Crucial for survival in macrophages

I had the chance to present my data about VirB localisation in Brucella in an incredible place as Cape Town, South Africa 🌊🇿🇦 Thanks to the organizing committee of BMSV2025 for this opportunity and my colleagues for the amazing time we have together🪘#BMSV2025 @namurxa.bsky.social m

I'm having a great time in South Africa at the BMSV2025 where I got the chance to present some of my data on DipM and cell divison in Brucella abortus 🧫
Very lucky to participate to such an interesting conference

Great visit at the Cape Town botanic garden with a nice URBM delegation!... just before the BMSV conference

Adélie with the external jury members present at her public defense

Congratulations to Adélie Lannoy who presented her Ph.D. public defense about a Mla-Pqi chimeric complex and a two component system, both crucial for Brucella abortus virulence
