The paper identifies a small ORF that regulates flagellar gene expression and virulence by modulating RNA structure in Salmonella and related bacteria.

The paper identifies an expanded LPS translocon in Bacteroidota bacteria that mediates surface lipoprotein export, revealing structural and functional differences from the E. coli system.

This study identifies TMEM115 as a two-factor component with Rab6A that recruits the golgin TMF1 to the Golgi apparatus, with implications for protein trafficking and disease.

The paper presents cryo-EM structures of the bacterial flagellar Export Apparatus, revealing a rotary gating mechanism coupling proton flow to export channel opening.

The paper shows that Salmonella uses the SPI-1 injectisome to trigger rapid translation of transcription factors in macrophages, which suppresses inflammation and cell death to aid infection.
