The paper investigates how gut commensal strains modulate the growth and virulence of Clostridium perfringens through substrate competition and protein level changes.

This study shows pathogenic bacteria inhibit host translation by targeting processing bodies and reveals a link between ER stress, autophagy, and P-body dynamics.

The paper shows that Zuo1, a ribosome-associated complex chaperone, mitigates growth defects and translation reduction in yeast with mitochondrial import defects under heat stress.

This study identifies and characterizes the negamycin biosynthetic gene cluster in Kitasatospora purpeofusca, enabling scalable production through heterologous expression.

This study identifies HIR2's role in organizing plasma membrane receptors in Arabidopsis by showing its interactions, structural organization, and impact on receptor dynamics and signaling.

This study investigates the secretion mechanism of transmembrane effector proteins by Legionella T4bSS, revealing a two-step process involving an inner membrane intermediate.

The paper identifies the epigenetic toolkit of Pristionchus pacificus, revealing the loss of the PRC2 complex and the presence of H3K27me3 through an unknown methyltransferase.

The paper shows that histone 4 lysine 5/12 acetylation regulates developmental plasticity and epigenetic memory in nematodes by controlling switch gene expression during a critical environmental sensitivity window.
