This study shows that clathrins are essential for proper cytostome formation in Plasmodium falciparum, which is critical for hemoglobin uptake and digestion.

This study uses cryoEM to reveal the structure of the central apparatus in Trypanosoma brucei flagella, identifying PF16 as a key scaffold and uncovering lineage-specific adaptations.

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.

The paper reports cryoEM structures of endogenous 2-oxoglutarate and pyruvate dehydrogenase complexes from bovine kidney, revealing structural differences and insights into their organization.
