This study uses cryo-EM to determine structural models of five intermediates in the maturation pathway of Nudaurelia capensis omega virus, revealing key structural changes during viral maturation.

The paper uses cryo-EM to study the NifL-NifA complex in Azotobacter vinelandii, revealing how NifL sequesters NifA to regulate nitrogen fixation and enabling engineered strains with enhanced nitrogen secretion.

This paper identifies an effector from Phytophthora infestans that bridges NbTOL9a to an activated NLR to suppress immunity, revealing a novel structural and functional mechanism.

The paper shows that KorB, a DNA-sliding clamp, switches to a repressor role with KorA to mediate long-range gene silencing on plasmid RK2.
