The paper shows that the ParB-CTPase fold can be repurposed as an ATPase toxin in bacterial contact-dependent growth inhibition systems, with toxic effects in both plant and animal cells.

The paper demonstrates that Arabidopsis BRUTUS and BRUTUS-LIKE2 proteins bind iron and exhibit redox properties, supporting their role as plant iron sensors.

The paper shows that KorB, a DNA-sliding clamp, switches to a repressor role with KorA to mediate long-range gene silencing on plasmid RK2.
