Type IV minor pilin ComN predicted the USS-receptor in Pasteurellaceae

The paper identifies PpdA as the USS receptor in Pasteurellaceae using structural modeling and coevolution analysis, proposing ComN as its gene name.

Biased enrichment of DNA uptake enhancing sequences in Pasteurellaceae and Neisseriaceae

This study analyzes DUES distribution and functional associations in 177 genomes, identifying novel DUS dialects and showing functional divergence between Neisseriaceae and Pasteurellaceae.
