From Magnetosomes to Vesicles: LemA Proteins as Drivers of Bacterial Membrane Reorganization

This paper identifies LemA proteins as conserved drivers of bacterial membrane reorganization, involved in organelle and vesicle formation through interactions with divisome components and other membrane remodeling factors.

Systemically delivered Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron-derived bacterial extracellular vesicles inhibit primary and metastatic melanoma growth

This study shows that Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron-derived extracellular vesicles inhibit melanoma growth via immune activation rather than direct cytotoxicity.

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12-binding function

The paper identifies B12-binding function in multiple DUF4465 proteins across diverse bacterial species.

Extracellular Vesicle-Linked Vitamin B12 Acquisition via Novel Binding Proteins in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

This study identifies novel cobalamin-binding proteins in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and shows their role in extracellular vesicle-mediated nutrient acquisition.

Proteomic and Metabolomic Profiling of Archaeal Extracellular Vesicles from the Human Gut

This study profiles proteomic and metabolomic features of archaeal extracellular vesicles from the human gut, revealing their structural similarity to bacterial EVs and their potential to modulate immune responses.
