This paper describes a semisynthetic method to produce oxalyl-CoA for biochemical assays, demonstrating its utility in enzyme studies.

This paper shows that MtrAB in Streptomyces venezuelae senses osmotic stress via sucrose, activates ectoine production, and triggers sporulation through direct regulation of bldM and whiI.

The paper shows that the ParB-CTPase fold can be repurposed as an ATPase toxin in bacterial contact-dependent growth inhibition systems, with toxic effects in both plant and animal cells.

The paper describes methods to enhance thioalbamide production by refactoring its biosynthetic gene cluster and identifies a related compound with anticancer activity.

This study identifies a CTP-independent ParABS system in Streptomyces coelicolor that segregates plasmid SCP2 through a ParT protein that diffuses on DNA without CTP binding or hydrolysis.

This study identifies syringomycin as a key necrotizing toxin that enables Pseudomonas syringae to infect diverse plant lineages, including non-flowering species.
