The paper shows that SpaB and N-terminal SpaA (NSpaA) from Corynebacterium diphtheriae adopt similar structures and compete for a shared reaction intermediate in pilus assembly.

This study shows directed inter-domain motions in the IsdH receptor enable efficient heme extraction from human hemoglobin by distorting the heme pocket.

This study identifies over three times more proteins from secreted and cell-surface proteomes of C. diphtheriae than previous studies, revealing virulence-related proteins and iron-regulated pathways.

This paper determines the structure of TagA, a glycosyltransferase involved in wall teichoic acid biosynthesis, and reveals its mechanism of catalysis and regulation by membrane interactions.
