This study uses cryo-EM and tomography to reveal the structural changes in bacteriophage P2 during tail contraction and host infection, identifying new architectural features and mechanisms of genome translocation.

This study investigates the molecular mechanism of the Druantia anti-phage defense system, showing that DruH-E provides robust immunity and revealing its DNA unwinding and regulation by ATP.

This study shows that viral SSB-bound ssDNA activates the bacterial anti-phage defense system DARNA by recognizing a signal promoted by viral proteins, enabling broad virus detection without auto-immunity.

The paper shows that deoxydinucleotides activate the bacterial anti-phage defense system ApeA by binding to a conserved pocket, enabling broad protection against phage infection.
