This study identifies the keto form of oxaloacetate as the substrate for Vibrio cholerae decarboxylase and elucidates the proton transport mechanism during catalysis.

This study identifies two trimethylammonia-lyases in Shewanella oneidensis that produce terminal electron acceptors for anaerobic respiration.

The paper identifies and characterizes a novel type V CRISPR-Cas system, Cas12r-CRISPR, encoded by Lalka phages in Thermus bacteria, showing its role in targeting mobile genetic elements.

The paper identifies TFX as an antibiotic that inhibits arginyl-tRNA synthetase by acting as a Trojan-horse molecule, revealing it belongs to a broader family of natural inhibitors targeting various tRNA synthetases.

This study identifies a novel enzyme, histidine betaine trimethylammonia-lyase, involved in anaerobic respiration in Shewanella woodyi, which converts histidine betaine into urocanate and trimethylamine.

The paper identifies additional tRNA targets of the AriB nuclease in the PARIS system and shows that phage-encoded tRNAs can inhibit this defense.

The paper measures H+ transport kinetics in mPPase using a stopped-flow assay and finds that hydrolysis, not pyrophosphate binding, directly couples to H+ transport.

This study identifies ArdAB as the acrylate reductase in Shewanella woodyi, responsible for anaerobic respiration using acrylate as a terminal electron acceptor.

The paper identifies a novel protein, POLGARF, encoded by an overlapping reading frame in POLG mRNA, showing efficient CUG initiation and evolutionary origins via MIR transposition.

The paper discovers a new LAP antibiotic, phazolicin, which inhibits bacterial ribosomes in a species-specific manner by blocking the exit tunnel.
