This study identifies PBP2a as an RNA-binding protein in MRSA, showing it interacts with hundreds of transcripts and its RNA-binding activity is crucial for oxacillin resistance.

This paper shows that disrupting undecaprenyl phosphate recycling via DedA4 deletion reduces AmpC beta-lactamase production and beta-lactam resistance in P. aeruginosa.

This study identifies how the ChvG-ChvI pathway in Agrobacterium tumefaciens promotes survival under cell wall stress through exopolysaccharide production, beta-lactamase activity, and outer membrane remodeling.

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

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.
