This study shows that features of mitochondrial ribosomes, such as host protein acquisition and structural changes, are also present in an ancient insect endosymbiont, suggesting these traits arise from endosymbiont ancestry rather than mitochondrial specificity.

This study identifies Tke5, a novel Pseudomonas putida toxin that depolarizes membranes and kills plant pathogens through a unique pore-forming mechanism.

This study shows PAF15 stabilizes PCNA on DNA, slows its sliding, and regulates its loading/unloading, impacting genome stability.

This study identifies Tse4 as a pore-forming toxin that forms ion-selective channels, linking membrane depolarisation to K+ efflux in competing bacteria.
