This study identifies AsrA, a Lon homolog in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showing it has distinct substrate preferences and functions in stress adaptation.

The paper analyzes hundreds of Caulobacterales species to reveal ecological and evolutionary patterns, including widespread phototrophy and convergent loss of dimorphism.

The paper identifies LarA as a regulator of Lon protease activation during proteotoxic stress, showing its role in modulating proteolysis through a specific C-terminal sequence.
