This study identifies a multiheme selenoenzyme essential for elemental sulfur respiration in bacteria, revealing its unique catalytic mechanism involving selenium and heme.

This study edits the chloroplast genome of Arabidopsis thaliana to enhance Rubisco catalytic efficiency, improving photosynthesis and plant growth without reducing Rubisco content.

This study reports the cryo-EM structure of the ZapA-FtsZ complex, revealing how ZapA interacts with FtsZ to regulate bacterial cell division.

This study identifies Kapβ2 as a target of DPRs, showing how DPR binding alters its phase-modifying function, leading to toxic RBP condensates in ALS models.

The paper presents the high-resolution structure of a microtubule-like tube formed by FtsZ-monobody complexes, revealing structural similarities to microtubules and the role of FtsZ protofilament plasticity.

This study shows that PR poly-dipeptides from C9orf72 repeat expansion bind Kapβ2 and disrupt FUS droplet melting, contributing to nucleocytoplasmic transport deficits in ALS.
