Abstract: Significance The newly described type IX secretion systems (T9SSs) translocate virulence factors and can mediate specialized gliding motility among bacterial pathogens of the Fibrobacteres–Chlorobi–Bacterioidetes superphylum. We visualized the spatial organization of the T9SS in its… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Pathogenic microbes trigger rapid and robust innate immune responses that effectively restrict pathogen replication and promote long-lasting adaptive immunity. The differential recognition of pathogenic versus non-pathogenic microbes occurs through the detection of host cell… read more here.

Abstract: Bacteria transport proteins to diverse intracellular or extracellular locations to ensure proper function. Proteins are localized intracellularly to the cytoplasm or the periplasm or embedded in membranes. Extracellular proteins are localized to the bacterial surface,… read more here.
