The paper identifies CYLD as a host deubiquitinase recruited to Listeria monocytogenes surface via InlC and RNF213, which facilitates cell-to-cell spread in epithelial cells.

This paper uses a hybrid capture method to profile temporal gene expression in Rickettsia during early infection, identifying gene clusters and antisense RNAs.

This study identifies cyclophilin A as a host factor critical for the maturation and function of a virulence factor in obligate intracellular bacteria, with implications for therapeutic targeting.

This paper develops inducible gene expression and CRISPRi-mediated gene knockdown systems in Rickettsia parkeri to study its infectious life cycle.
