    A rapid transfer of virions coated with heparan sulfate from the ECM to CD151 defines an early step in the human papillomavirus infection cascade

    Annika Massenberg, Yahya Homsi ... Thorsten Lang
    In an assay focusing on active virus recruitment rather than passive binding, STED microscopy reveals early association of virions to CD151, indicating its early involvement in viral entry platforms formation.

    Starvation of the bacterium Vibrio atlanticus induces simultaneous attacks on the dinoflagellate Alexandrium pacificum

    Jean-Luc Rolland, Estelle Masseret ... Raphael Lami
    Vibrio bacteria act as predators of ecologically significant algae that contribute to harmful blooms.

    A macroevolution-inspired approach to reveal novel antibiotic resistance mechanisms

    Fernanda T Subtil, Teresa FG Machado ... Luiz Pedro S de Carvalho
    Using macroevolution, species not strains, uncovered important diversity in how mycobacteria respond to and resist antibiotics, revealing novel resistance determinants.

    Membrane binding controls the ATPase cycle and localization of MinD in Bacillus subtilis

    Helge Feddersen, Charlotte Dyckmans, Marc Bramkamp
    Dynamic relocalization of MinD in Bacillus subtilis arises from membrane binding of monomers and dimers with membrane-triggered ATP hydrolysis, suggesting MinE-like activators are unnecessary for Min system dynamics.

    Quantitative RNA pseudouridine landscape reveals dynamic modification patterns and evolutionary conservation across bacterial species

    Letong Xu, Shenghai Shen ... Xin Deng
    Transcriptome-wide profiling of bacterial RNA pseudouridylation maps modification landscapes and nominates candidate regulatory sites, offering a resource and foundation for future mechanistic studies of Ψ function in bacteria.

    LFA-1 interaction with GBP-130 on Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells mediates NK cell activation and parasite control

    Osama Mukhtar, Ravi Dutt ... Pawan Malhotra
    Interaction between LFA-1 on natural killer cells and GBP-130 on infected erythrocytes enables immune recognition and killing of Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells.
