A lytic transglycosylase connects bacterial focal adhesion complexes to the peptidoglycan cell wall and thus transmits proton motive force from the inner membrane to cell surface.

Subterranean fossil bone hosts a living microbiome different from the surrounding sediment without evidence of original protein preservation.

Rod-shaped bacteria preserve their aspect ratios and surface-to-volume scaling by maintaining a homeostatic balance between the rates of cell elongation and division protein synthesis.

The diffusion coefficients of proteins in the cytoplasm depend on their net charge and the distribution of charge over the protein surface, with positive proteins moving up to 100-fold slower because they bind to ribosomes.

The repair of oxidatively damaged proteins by the newly discovered activity in YjbI is important for the adaptation of Bacillus subtilis to oxidative environments.

A novel strategy to combat antimicrobial resistance has been identified by using vaccines and nanobodies to target specific extracellular proteins located on multiresistant bacterial plasmids.

A cryo-EM structure of the bacterial OmcZ cytochrome filament provides evidence for the possibility that cytochrome polymers had multiple origins in bacteria.

Genetic and biochemical analyses demonstrate that cell-surface lectin receptors can potentially function as extracellular NAD⁺-binding receptors and provide direct evidence for extracellular NAD⁺ being a bona fide endogenous signaling molecule in plants.

Hormonal concentrations found in over 7-day-old neonates favor CC17 GBS invasiveness in a process linked to intestinal M cells maturation and mediated by the CC17 GBS surface protein Srr2.

Rapid evolution and gene conversion of a primate cell surface receptor family blocks recognition by pathogenic bacteria.
