The paper identifies and characterizes an HtrA sheddase produced by Coxiella burnetii and shows its role in cleaving E-cadherin, inducing M2 polarization, and enhancing bacterial replication.

This study identifies functional enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in Pandoravirus massiliensis, suggesting it may possess energy production capabilities and challenging traditional virus definitions.

The paper identifies dual RNase and β-lactamase activity in an archaeal enzyme, challenging previous annotations and highlighting functional specialization over time.

The paper identifies a metallo-beta-lactamase with dual beta-lactamase and ribonuclease activity in a giant virus and shows its RNase activity is not inhibited by common inhibitors.
