The paper reports the cryoEM structure of FPM13, a novel periplasmic metalloprotein from Francisella, and shows its role in metal binding and potential detoxification.

This study identifies and characterizes the RibD-enolase complex in Francisella novicida, revealing structural features and catalytic independence, with implications for antibiotic development.

The paper determines the cryoEM structure of PdpC, an effector protein from Francisella tularensis, and shows its binding to host phospholipids, revealing insights into its role in virulence.
