This study determines cryo-EM structures of bacterial DNA polymerase III complexes to elucidate the mechanism of nucleotide incorporation and proofreading.

This study shows that a unique secondary contact of Pol IV with the processivity clamp enhances its ability to perform translesion synthesis past strong replication blocks.

This study investigates how designer PPR proteins bind to specific RNA sequences, showing they do not scan longer RNAs and instead rely on diffusion, with implications for their localization in organelles.
