    MftG is crucial for ethanol metabolism of mycobacteria by linking mycofactocin oxidation to respiration

    Ana Patrícia Graça, Vadim Nikitushkin ... Gerald Lackner
    The mftG gene, present in the majority of mycofactocin gene clusters, encodes an oxidoreductase that facilitates ethanol utilization by reoxidation of mycofactocins and channeling electrons towards the respiratory chain.

    Target-agnostic identification of human antibodies to Plasmodium falciparum sexual forms reveals cross-stage recognition of glutamate-rich repeats

    Axelle Amen, Randy Yoo ... Matthijs M Jore
    A naturally acquired human monoclonal antibody recognizes proteins expressed at different stages of the Plasmodium falciparum life cycle through affinity-matured homotypic interactions with glutamate-rich repeats.
