This paper identifies and characterizes a novel LD-transpeptidase in Gluconobacter oxydans that forms 1,3-type crosslinks, revealing structural and functional differences from known transpeptidases.

This study reconstitutes the membrane clustering and RNA recruitment functions of the enteroviral 2C protein in vitro, revealing its roles in viral replication and challenging its helicase function.

The paper reports the structure of PrgB from Enterococcus faecalis and shows how specific domains affect conjugation, biofilm formation, and virulence.

The paper characterizes the structure and function of TraI from pKM101, revealing its conserved DNA processing mechanism across plasmids.

This paper reports the structure and function of Enterococcus faecalis PrgA, showing it extends outside the cell to provide surface exclusion and reduce plasmid uptake.
