The paper examines the evolutionary divergence of the RAR1-SGT1 chaperone complex in leptosporangiate ferns, identifying key residues that dictate binding specificity and revealing a stepwise evolutionary pathway.

The paper examines changes in chloroplast ribosomes during evolution from cyanobacteria to land plants, identifying structural features and protein modifications.

The paper uses cryo-EM to study the NifL-NifA complex in Azotobacter vinelandii, revealing how NifL sequesters NifA to regulate nitrogen fixation and enabling engineered strains with enhanced nitrogen secretion.

This study investigates how bS1 facilitates mRNA delivery to the ribosome and enhances translation initiation by RNAP in bacteria.

This study determines the structure of sensor-activated NbNRC2 using cryo-EM, revealing a hexameric resistosome and highlighting structural changes during NLR activation.
