This study investigates the structural and functional properties of BrxC, a conserved AAA+ ATPase in the BREX phage restriction system, revealing its role in mediating competing protein associations and DNA binding that regulate host methylation and phage restriction.

The paper determines the structures of two actinoporins in a membrane environment using cryogenic electron microscopy, revealing their pore-forming mechanism through intermediate states.

The paper identifies two enzymes in wax worm saliva that oxidize and depolymerize polyethylene, overcoming a key bottleneck in plastic biodegradation.

This study characterizes the structure and function of the Spo11 core complex in S. cerevisiae, revealing its monomeric structure and DNA-binding properties related to meiotic DSB formation.
