The Tat system, a conserved protein translocation pathway present in LUCA, transports folded proteins across membranes in bacteria, archaea, and organelles, with 1-2 core components.
Computational virology advances across scales, with AI integration promising to transform viral research and therapeutic development.
Staphylococcus aureus employs diverse protein-protein interactions to facilitate adhesion, invasion, and immune evasion, enabling persistent infection and resistance to host defenses.
Bacterial extracellular vesicles (bEVs) play crucial roles in biofilm dynamics, community interactions, and communication, with their production influenced by biofilm conditions.
Oral streptococci produce membrane vesicles that facilitate host interactions and are common among Gram-positive bacteria, challenging previous assumptions about their capabilities.
Extracellular vesicles significantly influence HIV infection, contributing to viral persistence and immune modulation, with potential for targeted therapeutic interventions.
