This study investigates how ATP and ADP binding affects MreB polymerization and membrane interaction in Geobacillus stearothermophilus, revealing distinct binding affinities and membrane fluidizing effects.

This study identifies a bacterial lipid that triggers membrane mechanosensing immunity in Arabidopsis by altering membrane properties and activating immune signaling pathways.

The paper describes an amyloid-based signal transduction mechanism in Escherichia coli's antiphage defense system, showing functional interchangeability between Bab and fungal HET-S amyloids.

This paper identifies BC1280 as an essential chaperone for biofilm-specific pili assembly in B. cereus, showing its role in filament formation and regulation of EPS expression.

Stealth α-synuclein fibrils escape ThT detection, outcompete visible polymorphs, and spread neurodegeneratively in vivo.
