Cryo-EM structures of an Acinetobacter baumannii podovirus reveal a canonical capsid maturation

The paper reports the cryo-EM structures of an Acinetobacter baumannii podovirus, revealing its capsid maturation mechanism and providing a reference for phage engineering.

Nucleoid-associated proteins sense phage-induced genome damage to elicit abortive infection

This study identifies a novel bacterial defense mechanism where nucleoid-associated proteins detect phage-induced genome damage by relocating to the cytoplasm and activating immune effectors.

A coherent feed-forward loop fine-tunes KatG to maintain redox homeostasis in mycobacteria

The paper identifies a regulatory circuit in mycobacteria that fine-tunes KatG expression to balance iron conservation and antioxidant defense under varying environmental conditions.
