Lifecycle of a predatory bacterium vampirizing its prey through the cell envelope and S-layer

This study images the predatory lifecycle of Bdellovibrio exovorus and reveals non-binary division and S-layer-independent predation.

Tick-borne flavivirus NS5 antagonizes interferon signaling by inhibiting the catalytic activity of TYK2

This study identifies a mechanism by which tick-borne flaviviruses inhibit interferon signaling by targeting TYK2 catalytic activity through their NS5 protein.

A TPR scaffold couples signal detection to OdhI phosphorylation in metabolic control by the protein kinase PknG

This study identifies a TPR scaffold in PknG that links signal detection to OdhI phosphorylation, regulating metabolic control in actinobacteria.

SepF is the FtsZ-anchor in Archaea: implications for cell division in the Last Universal Common Ancestor

This study identifies SepF as the FtsZ anchor in Methanobrevibacter smithii, revealing its role in archaeal cell division and evolutionary implications for LUCA.

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.
