This study characterizes the Rhs2-SciX effector-immunity pair from Salmonella Typhimurium, revealing Rhs2 as a nuclease and its interaction with EF-Tu to inhibit translation.

The paper presents the X-ray crystal structure of Salmonella Typhimurium VgrS, revealing a unique open conformation and molecular variations that may influence T6SS effector loading mechanisms.

This study investigates the mechanism by which Eag chaperones release effector transmembrane domains using biochemical, biophysical, and structural approaches.

This study identifies synergistic roles of DksA and PsrA in Legionella pneumophila virulence using Acanthamoeba castellanii, showing their combined impact on bacterial growth and transmissive phase traits.

This study identifies Prx as a multifunctional metabolic regulator in Streptococcus pyogenes that interacts with DNA-binding proteins and transcriptional regulators, contributing to phage genome maintenance and pathogenicity.

This paper shows that the phage protein paratox is intrinsically disordered in dilute solution but folds into a globular structure when bound to ComR or in the presence of stabilizing solutes.
