F‐Type Pyocin Versus Phage λ Tail: Conserved Hub, Divergent Fibers
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Near‐atomic cryo‐EM structures of a Gram‐negative F‐type pyocin reveal a conserved tail tip architecture shared with bacteriophage λ together with a previously unrecognized side‐fiber attachment mode. These findings provide new insight into tailocin assembly and host recognition and establish a structural framework for engineering precision ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We report a chromogenic release‐based assay system with protease‐cleavage peptide‐modified calcium carbonate microspheres for colorimetric detection of Porphyromonas (P.) gingivalis activity. In response to Arg‐specific gingipain secreted by P. gingivalis, the supernatant becomes colored, enabling colorimetric analysis and providing the monitoring of ...

Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The invasive leafminer Phthorimaea absoluta uniquely manipulates plant defenses by inducing stomatal opening in tomato. This response, mediated by the stomatal regulator IQM1, enhances the release of the repellent volatile benzaldehyde. This volatile triggers the dispersal of adult moths, facilitates colonization of new hosts, and leads to rapid ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Streptococcal mannose phosphotransferase system component IID (Man‐PTSIID) is identified as a novel RANK‐binding osteoclastogenic factor. By directly binding to RANK and activating NF‐κB independently of TLR2, Man‐PTSIID drives osteoclastogenesis and inflammatory bone destruction, uncovering an unexpected microbial mechanism underlying streptococcal ...

One‐Step Immobilized Phage Depolymerase Coatings for Catheter‐Related Bloodstream Infections
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Catheter‐related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) caused by drug‐resistant Gram‐negative bacteria remain a major clinical challenge. Here, a polydopamine‐assisted depolymerase coating degrades bacterial capsules and restores serum‐mediated killing, effectively suppressing biofilms and reducing bacterial burden in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo, presenting a
