This paper describes how the Druantia type III-A defense system in E. coli clears phage infections by recognizing single-stranded DNA and unwinding DNA duplexes directionally.

This paper introduces a hydrogel substrate for studying bacterial biofilms, showing improved biofilm growth and virulence factor production compared to glass beads.

This study investigates the role of GGAs in AP-1-dependent trafficking using CRISPR-Cas9 and live-cell imaging, finding GGAs modulate bi-directional trafficking by preventing AP-1 cargo retrieval.

The paper investigates how cytoplasmic density changes during cell differentiation and how this affects mitotic spindle architecture and scaling.

This study investigates how temperature adaptation in microtubule dynamics is achieved through sequence changes in tubulin from three frog species.

This study identifies DHHC20 interaction partners in T cells, showing it interacts with Gsβ1γ2 and suggests a model for its role in palmitoylation.

The paper identifies immunodominant CD4+ T cell epitopes for SARS-CoV-2 antigens by integrating antigen processing systems with in silico tools, revealing distinct processing mechanisms for different antigens.

The paper identifies primate-specific CAMK2B splice variants regulated by branch point weakening, showing their role in long-term potentiation and learning.

The paper develops and benchmarks a comprehensive CNS proteomics database for Lymnaea stagnalis using bioinformatics and LC-MS proteomics, identifying more proteins than a non-specific database.

The paper identifies MPP2 as a scaffold protein that links GABAA receptors to the postsynaptic density through super-resolution imaging and mass spectrometry.

The paper shows that binding of PDZ3 ligands to PSD-95's third PDZ domain alters its SH3-GK domain conformation, affecting complex formation with interactors like Gnb5.
