This study identifies the conserved two-component system ChvGI as essential for the honey bee symbiont Bombella apis to survive in harsh host environments and regulate key bacterial behaviors.

This paper identifies a self-S-sulfonation mechanism in bacterial persulfide dioxygenase CstB that converts thiol persulfides to thiosulfate without sulfite release.

This study investigates the role of the QxxR motif in Drosophila Me31B, showing that a mutation in this motif causes female sterility and germline defects without altering protein abundance or global transcriptome profiles.

This study identifies proteins and pathways involved in plant EV secretion, revealing roles for EXO70, RIN4, and VAP27 in EV heterogeneity and plant immunity.

This study uses chemoproteomics to show that calprotectin stress in Acinetobacter baumannii leads to undermetalation of metalloproteomes, impairing key metabolic and cellular processes.

This study identifies multiple molecular mechanisms by which velvet ant venom activates nociceptors in both vertebrates and invertebrates.
