This study identifies a pH-dependent kinase cascade in Leishmania that regulates differentiation into infectious stages, revealing key pathways for acid adaptation and transmission.

This study identifies KKT2 and CRK9 as essential kinases for Leishmania cell cycle progression using chemical genetics and CRISPR-Cas9.

This study maps the Leishmania ubiquitinome and identifies DUB2 as a key regulator of differentiation by modulating ubiquitination of proteins involved in cell motility and metabolism.

This study profiles Staphylococcus diversity in a single skin niche using whole-genome sequencing, revealing intra-species genetic and functional variation and potential metabolic interactions.

The paper identifies 7 Corynebacterium species and 2 novel species from a single human skin site using long-read sequencing and pangenome analysis.

This study identifies MSK as a kinase essential for coordinating nucleus and kinetoplast segregation in Leishmania mexicana, showing its role in mitotic spindle function and cell survival.

This study identifies the IctPQM TRAP transporter as essential for Pseudomonas aeruginosa to utilize itaconate, a host-derived metabolite, by showing its specific binding and structural adaptations.

This study characterizes DUB16, an essential UCH family deubiquitinase in Leishmania donovani, showing its structure, activity, and potential as a drug target.

This study identifies key ubiquitination enzymes essential for Leishmania differentiation and infection, showing that UBC2 and UEV1 form a complex critical for ubiquitination activity.
