Unraveling the molecular basis of subunit specificity in P pilus assembly by mass spectrometry [PDF]
, 2008 P pili are multisubunit fibers essential for the attachment of uropathogenic Escherichia coli to the kidney. These fibers are formed by the noncovalent assembly of six different homologous subunit types in an array that is strictly defined in terms of ...

Axisymmetric equilibrium models for magnetised neutron stars in Scalar-Tensor Theories [PDF]
, 2020 Among the possible extensions of General Relativity that have been put forward in order to address some long standing issues in our understanding of the Universe, Scalar-Tensor Theories have received a lot of attention for their simplicity. Interestingly,

High levels of cyclic di-GMP in Klebsiella pneumoniae attenuate virulence in the lung [PDF]
, 2018 The bacterial second messenger bis-(3′-5′)-cyclic dimeric GMP (c-di-GMP) has been shown to influence the expression of virulence factors in certain pathogenic bacteria, but little is known about its activity in the increasingly antibiotic-resistant ...

Cryo-electron microscopy reveals two distinct type IV pili assembled by the same bacterium
Nature Communications, 2020 Type IV pili are flexible filaments on the surface of bacteria, consisting of a helical assembly of pilin proteins. They are involved in bacterial motility (twitching), surface adhesion, biofilm formation and DNA uptake (natural transformation). Here, we
