Genome sequences of equine influenza A subtype H3N8 viruses by long read sequencing and functional characterization of the PB1-F2 virulence factor of A/equine/Paris/1/2018

This study uses long-read sequencing to characterize equine influenza A H3N8 viruses, identifying antigenic drift and a virulence-enhancing PB1-F2 protein variant.

B2LiVe, a label-free 1D-NMR method to quantify the binding of amphitropic peptides or proteins to membrane vesicles

B2LiVe quantifies membrane binding of amphitropic peptides and proteins using label-free 1D-NMR, showing it compares well with established methods.

Gallocin A, an atypical two-peptide bacteriocin with intramolecular disulfide bonds required for activity

This paper characterizes gallocin A, a two-peptide bacteriocin from SGG, showing it requires intramolecular disulfide bonds for activity and that its immunity peptide shares structural features with the toxin.

Dynamics and structural changes of calmodulin upon interaction with its potent antagonist calmidazolium

This study characterizes the structural and dynamic changes in calmodulin upon binding to calmidazolium, revealing conformational shifts similar to those induced by peptide ligands.

A high-affinity calmodulin-binding site in the CyaA toxin translocation domain is essential for invasion into eukaryotic cells

Functional and structural consequences of epithelial cell invasion by Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase toxin

This study investigates how Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA) alters the structure and function of A549 alveolar epithelial cells by increasing intracellular cAMP, leading to cell rounding, actin remodeling, and impaired migration and wound healing.

Essential dynamic interdependence of FtsZ and SepF for Z-ring and septum formation in Corynebacterium glutamicum

This study investigates the essential interaction between FtsZ and SepF in C. glutamicum, revealing their dynamic roles in Z-ring and septum formation through structural and functional analyses.
