This paper identifies and functionally characterizes vitamin K-based redox modules in giant viruses that modify host membrane lipids during infection.

The paper identifies cell envelope proteins in mycobacteria that require disulfide bonds for stability and shows that inhibiting the DsbA-VKOR pathway affects cell division and antibiotic resistance.

The paper identifies a conserved residue critical for quinone and coumarin binding in disulfide bond-forming enzymes and demonstrates the potential of warfarin analogs as anticoagulants or antibacterials.
