Activation of the ChvG-ChvI pathway promotes multiple survival strategies during cell wall stress in Agrobacterium tumefaciens

This study identifies how the ChvG-ChvI pathway in Agrobacterium tumefaciens promotes survival under cell wall stress through exopolysaccharide production, beta-lactamase activity, and outer membrane remodeling.

Strand-swapping in the LolA-like protein GerS promotes the allosteric activation of a bacterial amidase in Clostridioides difficile

This study investigates how strand-swapping in GerS, a LolA-like protein in C. difficile, affects its dimerization and ability to activate the amidase CwlD.
