This paper identifies and characterizes AdvA, a unique protein in Acinetobacter baumannii essential for cell division, revealing its structural and functional divergence from typical nucleotidyl cyclases.

The paper determines six structural states of PilU, a retraction ATPase, revealing its homohexameric assembly and conformational flexibility, which may explain its weak ATPase activity and dependence on PilT.

This paper identifies a pterin-responsive regulatory mechanism in Agrobacterium tumefaciens that controls biofilm formation through interactions between PruR, DcpA, and pterins.
