The paper identifies and characterizes novel hyperactive PrfA* variants in Listeria monocytogenes, showing their diverse effects across multiple assays and emphasizing the need for comprehensive analysis.

The paper introduces pTRIP, a new integrative plasmid for Listeria monocytogenes that allows stable gene integration without antibiotic selection.

This study investigates how cell chaining in a Listeria monocytogenes divIVA mutant affects virulence, finding that it is not the morphology itself but PrfA- and SecA2-dependent processes that are primarily responsible for attenuation.

This study investigates how trehalose metabolism affects PrfA activity in L. monocytogenes, identifying trehalose as a PTS-dependent sugar that supports growth without impacting PrfA.

This study identifies Wall Teichoic Acids (WTAs) as a novel MAMP in Arabidopsis, showing they activate defense responses through the CRK receptor family.

This study identifies GpsB as an activator of PrkA, a PASTA kinase, and shows that ReoM phosphorylation is regulated by growth phase and phosphatase PrpC, with MurA's conformation and interaction with ReoM playing a key role.
