Proximity biotinylation at the host-Shigella interface reveals UFMylation as an antibacterial pathway.

The paper identifies UFMylation as an antibacterial pathway using proximity biotinylation and mass spectrometry, showing it targets intracellular Shigella and Salmonella.

A yeast-based reverse genetics system to generate HCoV-OC43 reporter viruses encoding an eighth sgRNA

This paper develops a yeast-based reverse genetics system to generate HCoV-OC43 reporter viruses with an eighth sgRNA, enabling modular genome assembly and mutagenesis.

TOR signaling modulates Cdk8-dependent GAL gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The paper identifies TOR signaling's role in modulating Cdk8-dependent GAL gene expression in yeast by showing its interaction with PP2A/Cdc55.
