Chi3l1 binds to bacterial peptidoglycan, helping anchor and organize bacteria within the mucus layer.

Sequence analyses show a pfhrp3 deletion mechanism involves duplication of chromosome 11 segment, which is normally removed via negative selection, and specific conditions are needed for spread including low transmission.

c-di-GMP and HipH function as a toxin-antitoxin-like module to regulate persister cell formation in bacterial biofilms.

A new way to treat Zika virus infections could be achieved following the definition of an ion channel function for the M protein within virus particles.

The Braun lipoprotein is tethered to peptidoglycan independently from the insertion of newly-synthesized peptidoglycan subunits into the expanding cell wall generating a dynamic equilibrium between free and bound protein forms.

Identifying gain-of-function division variants that suppress the elongated cell division defect phenotype caused by Aeg1 depletion.

Chemokine CCL28 plays a key role in shaping neutrophil responses during intestinal Salmonella infection and lung Acinetobacter infection.

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.

Like two peas in a pod but not exactly alike, similar molecules targeting the same bacterial protein behave differently, requiring systems biology and target deconvolution to gain better comprehension.
