   Genetic code expansion enables visualization of Salmonella type three secretion system components and secreted effectors

   Moirangthem Kiran Singh et al.

   Genetic code expansion (GCE) enables site-specific labeling and visualization of Salmonella secreted effectors, secretion system components and provides a viable alternative for labeling proteins that do not tolerate N- or C-terminal tags.

   Asymmetric localization of the cell division machinery during Bacillus subtilis sporulation

   Kanika Khanna et al.

   During sporulation, FtsAZ filaments mediating cell division in Bacillus subtilis are positioned asymmetrically around the septum only on the mother cell side, making the septum thinner than during vegetative growth.

   Erythrocyte CD55 mediates the internalization of Plasmodium falciparum parasites

   Bikash Shakya et al.

   The strain-transcendent receptor CD55 plays a distinct functional role relative to other known receptors for Plasmodium falciparum invasion of human erythrocytes, indicating it may present a vulnerable target for intervention.

   TRPM channels mediate learned pathogen avoidance following intestinal distention

   Adam Filipowicz et al.

   Behavioral assays using Caenorhabditis elegans show that a learned pathogen avoidance following intestinal distention requires specific chemosensory neurons and TRPM channels in the intestine and excretory cell.

    HIV-1 uncoating by release of viral cDNA from capsid-like structures in the nucleus of infected cells

    Thorsten G Müller et al.

    HIV-1 capsids enter the host cell nucleus, where they are partially disrupted to release the viral genome upon completion of reverse transcription.
