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.

Phosphate starvation in Arabidopsis potentiates Pep-PEPR signaling, but not flagellin or chitin responses, via LPR1/LPR2 iron-redox, RBOHD/RBOHF and WRKY33; basal PEPR activity also supports phosphate-starvation responses.

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.
