A combination of cell biological, biochemical, and computational approaches characterizes the conserved membrane-targeting sequence of bactofilins and reveals a mutual influence of membrane binding and bactofilin polymerization.

Deleting SfPat prophage reduces Shewanella fidelis motility, increases biofilms, changes pdeB expression and spatial retention in Ciona gut, while Ciona VCBP-C binding to the WT strain results in reduced expression of viral capsid proteins without inducing SOS, indicating tripartite interactions.

Wild-derived mice exhibit diversity in outcomes after infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

For the first time, a function for the second messenger molecule, cyclic di-AMP, in Chlamydia has been described, revealing its role in regulating chlamydial developmental cycle progression.

Infection of human cells by human cytomegalovirus induces massive changes to human chromatin and reduction of TEAD1 activity.

Grafting surface loops containing antibody epitopes of a poorly expressed flu neuraminidase protein onto a high-expressing, stable scaffold improves its production and stability for vaccine development.

The accessory genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is small, but differences in gene content are found both between and within lineages.
