This study reveals how mitochondrial complex III assembles from preformed matrix domain modules, showing dynamic subunit exchange and the role of specific residues in assembly and disease.

This study identifies two distinct core minor pilin complexes in cyanobacteria that prime specialized Type IV filaments for natural competence and motility.

The paper develops an ER retrieval-and-release system to study ligand-independent basal TCR signaling, finding that surface TCRs generate distinct phosphorylation patterns compared to ligand-induced activation.
