During the developmental cycle of the pathogenic bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, non-replicative bacterial cells (elementary bodies, EBs) alternate with replicative forms within membrane-bound inclus...

Anoxic live-cell imaging shows actin-dependent crawling motility and dynamic protrusions in Asgard archaea, providing insights into cellular innovations that may have contributed to eukaryotic evoluti...

Many prokaryotes are diderms. They divide using an FtsZ division ring to simultaneously constrict physically coupled inner and outer membranes to form daughter cells with two membranes. Currently, onl...

Job Description The Department of Biological Sciences in the College of Science at Virginia Tech seeks applicants for two (2) tenure-track research and teaching positions at the Assistant/Associate ...

In eukaryotes, ribosome biogenesis initiates within the nucleolus, a hallmark multilayered compartment of the nucleus. Structures of pre-ribosomes have been characterized ex situ, but their assembly p...

Using bioinformatics, biochemistry, NMR, as well as the newly characterized enzyme ArmA from methanogenic archaea, we revised the existing knowledge on archaeal peptidoglycan structure. At the same ti...

Using LOPIT-DC-based spatial proteomics, Cadena et al. map the sub-organellar protein landscape of Paulinella chromatophora, a cercozoan with evolutionary-early-stage photosynthetic organelles. They f...

Taillefer et al. show that a bacterial type VI secretion system is lost or attenuated during experimental evolution when it provides no competitive advantage but is maintained in the presence of susce...

Taillefer et al. show that a bacterial type VI secretion system is lost or attenuated during experimental evolution when it provides no competitive advantage but is maintained in the presence of susceptible competitors. T6SS inactivation arises through diverse regulatory and structural mutations, revealing how ecological context shapes antibacterial weapon evolution.

Pathogenic bacteria tightly regulate gene expression in response to environmental cues. In Burkholderia species, the Type VI Secretion Systems (T6SS) mediate interbacterial competition and host cell i...
