This study identifies redox-dependent dimerization of PolDIP2 and a conserved ApaG-domain motif critical for CHCHD2 interaction, revealing structural features governing its mitochondrial function.

This study identifies two Plasmodium virulence factors involved in lipid metabolism and disease progression by analyzing their function in vivo.

The paper identifies a VirB2-like protein in Gram-positive bacteria that forms pili essential for conjugation, challenging the previous belief that such pili are absent in these bacteria.

The paper identifies 401 sex and transmission-related gene functions in malaria parasites through genetic screens, revealing conserved fertility mechanisms across eukaryotes.

This study determines the cryo-EM structure of MscS2 from Nematocida displodere, revealing its unique 6-channel super-structure and conservation of bacterial MscS features.

The paper reports the structure and function of PrgK, a component of the T4SS in pCF10, revealing its muramidase activity and self-regulating domains.

The paper characterizes PrgE, a non-essential SSB from plasmid pCF10, showing it binds both single- and double-stranded DNA with unique quaternary assembly and DNA-binding properties.

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.

The paper identifies how PrgU mitigates PrgB overexpression toxicity by binding to intergenic RNA downstream of the PQ promoter in Enterococcus faecalis.
