This study identifies the minimal MX2 region required for HIV-1 restriction and shows that MX2 binding disrupts the capsid lattice, leading to premature fragmentation and preventing viral nuclear import.

The paper determines the structure of the Tad pilus alignment complex and shows it forms a periplasmic conduit for pilus extension.

This study determines the structure of the complete extracellular bacterial flagellum, revealing mechanisms of flagellin incorporation and filament assembly.

The paper identifies a family of bacterial actins forming a unique 3-stranded tubular structure via ATP binding, revealing new insights into bacterial cytoskeletal diversity.
