Structural tuning of native type V fimbriae shapes mechanical specialization in Porphyromonas gingivalis

Zhifeng (Elaine) Wang, Adwaith B. Uday, Valentin Nelea…·Natalie Zeytuni

This study determines the structural and mechanical differences between two type V fimbriae in P. gingivalis, showing how structural tuning leads to distinct mechanical properties.

Structural and mechanistic basis of ubiquitous bacterial kinase signaling identifies PorX as a noncanonical substrate in Porphyromonas gingivalis

Anshu Saran, Zhihan Yang, Zhifeng (Elaine) Wang…·Natalie Zeytuni

This study determines the structure and mechanism of UbK1, a bacterial kinase in P. gingivalis, identifies PorX as a noncanonical substrate, and shows UbK1's role extends beyond canonical secretion pathways.
