The paper identifies a molecular clutch mechanism in Borrelia burgdorferi flagellar motors that controls stator engagement and torque generation through distinct conformational states.

This study uses in situ cryo-EM to reveal how the flagellar motor in Borrelia burgdorferi transmits high torque through mechanical coupling and a split washer-shaped FrbA brace.

The paper determines the in vivo structures of P22 infection intermediates and explains how gp10 templates the sequential assembly of three proteins into a trans-envelope channel for genome translocation.

This study determines the near-atomic structure of Vibrio cholerae's sheathed flagellum and reveals its dynamic architecture and membrane-coupled mechanisms.

This study determines the structure of Vibrio phage Peru-2, revealing its multimodal adsorption strategy and infection mechanism involving tailspikes and interactions with bacterial surfaces.

This study uses cryo-EM to determine the structure of the flagellar export apparatus in Borrelia burgdorferi, revealing its assembly mechanism and role in substrate translocation.
