The paper determines the cryo-EM structure of the MurJ-SglPP7 complex, revealing how SglPP7 inhibits MurJ and suggesting convergent evolution among phage lysis proteins.

This study reports cryo-EM structures of BAM-BepA complexes and identifies loop conformations that regulate BepA's dual function in substrate triage.

This study reveals dynamic interactions between SurA and BAM components in OMP assembly using cryo-EM structures.

The paper reveals how phage lysis protein LysM blocks MurJ conformational changes by acting as a wedge, providing a structural basis for designing antimicrobial agents targeting MurJ.

The paper reports the crystal and cryo-EM structures of a xylose transporter in the PTS system, revealing its mechanism for recognizing and transporting D-xylose.

This study identifies LptM as a novel LptD/E-interactor that stabilizes LptD during LPS translocon assembly, revealing its role as a 'barrel-rivet' through cryo-EM and biochemical analyses.
