Haloplasma MreB reconstitution in a minimal synthetic bacterium reveals orthogonal force directions underlying distinct Mollicute motility systems

The paper expresses MreB isoforms from Haloplasma in a synthetic bacterium to study motility, finding distinct movement patterns and force directions.

Redeployment of Archaeal ESCRT Systems Reveals Conserved Mechanisms Underlying Eukaryotic Complexity

This study shows that archaeal ESCRT modules integrate into eukaryotic structures, supporting a model of eukaryogenesis through redeployment of ancestral membrane-remodeling systems.

Bacterial genome encoded ParMs

The paper identifies and characterizes two bacterial chromosome-encoded ParMs, showing they can function beyond plasmid segregation.

Chromosome-scale genome assembly and gene annotation of the hydrothermal vent annelid Alvinella pompejana yield insight into animal evolution in extreme environments

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of Alvinella pompejana and analyzes its gene content to understand adaptations to extreme environments.
