Regulatory Rewiring Drives Intraspecies Competition in Bacillus subtilis

Margarita Kalamara, Alistair Bonsall, Jonathan Griffin…·Nicola R. Stanley‐Wall

This study shows that disrupting quorum-sensing pathways in Bacillus subtilis provides a competitive advantage by increasing growth rate, with such mutations found in ~16% of isolates.

The highly conserved aphid effector pair Mp1-Mp58 associates to form an effector complex that targets host trafficking protein VPS52

Jade R Bleau, Namami Gaur, S. Ronan Fisher…·Jorunn I. B. Bos

The paper identifies an effector complex formed by aphid proteins Mp1 and Mp58 that interacts with the host protein VPS52, revealing a new layer of complexity in plant-insect interactions.
