The paper identifies CYLD as a host deubiquitinase recruited to Listeria monocytogenes surface via InlC and RNF213, which facilitates cell-to-cell spread in epithelial cells.

This paper uses a hybrid capture method to profile temporal gene expression in Rickettsia during early infection, identifying gene clusters and antisense RNAs.

This study identifies cyclophilin A as a host factor critical for the maturation and function of a virulence factor in obligate intracellular bacteria, with implications for therapeutic targeting.

The paper uses BONCAT to identify novel secreted effectors from Rickettsia parkeri, revealing new proteins that interact with host cellular components.

This paper develops inducible gene expression and CRISPRi-mediated gene knockdown systems in Rickettsia parkeri to study its infectious life cycle.
