Type IV secretion systems: Advances in structure, function, and activation

Tiago R. D. Costa et al.

Summary: Bacterial type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) are functionally diverse and consist of conjugation systems for DNA transfer and effector translocators for delivering macromolecules. These systems are defined by conserved core subunits and system-specific additional subunits, contributing to their functional versatility. Recent advances in defining T4SS assembly pathways and architectures are enhancing our understanding of substrate recruitment mechanisms and functional capabilities.

Group II Introns Generate Functional Chimeric Relaxase Enzymes with Modified Specificities through Exon Shuffling at Both the RNA and DNA Level

Felix LaRoche-Johnston et al.

Summary: Group II introns are large self-splicing RNA enzymes that can generate mRNA chimeras through an intergenic trans-splicing pathway, increasing genetic diversity in bacterial hosts and producing new functional enzymes. Research has shown that some compound enzymes exhibit gain-of-function phenotypes, being more efficient than wild-type enzymes.

MEGA11 Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis Version 11

Koichiro Tamura et al.

Summary: MEGA software, a mature tool for computational molecular evolution, has been enhanced with new additions for building timetrees of species, pathogens, and gene families using rapid relaxed-clock methods. These additions include methods for estimating divergence times, confidence intervals, and new options for tagging sequences with spatiotemporal sampling information. The enhancements aim to improve user experience, result quality, and the pace of biological discovery.
