  • Many pathogens encode transporters that extract heme directly from host proteins. In this study, the authors demonstrate the utility of de novo-designed proteins in understanding the mechanism behind this process and how it can be inhibited in pathogenic E. coli.

  • Many bacteria use TonB-dependent outer membrane receptors to scavenge iron from their host during infection. Here, the authors report on the structure and function of FusA, which is a bacterial receptor that is used to obtain iron from plants.

  • Structural and biochemical studies of the Mycobacterium smegmatis hydrogenase Huc provides insights into how [NiFe] hydrogenases oxidize trace amounts of atmospheric hydrogen and transfer the electrons liberated via quinone transport.

  • Here, Kropp et al. use cryo-electron microscopy and structural modeling to show that the enzyme [MoCu]-CO dehydrogenase interacts with its partner, the membrane-bound quinone-binding protein CoxG, to facilitate electron transfer from atmospheric CO oxidation to the respiratory chain. This interaction is conserved across diverse bacteria and archaea.

  • Flagellotropic phages spin down flagella to reach the bacterial surface and must withstand remarkable drag forces. Here authors show how two nested sets of chainmail stabilise the viral head and a beta-hairpin regulates the formation of the robust yet pliable tail, characteristic of siphoviruses.

  • In this Review, Greening and Grinter describe the microorganisms and enzymes that use atmospheric trace gases, including hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane, during growth and survival. They highlight important ecological and biogeochemical roles for these processes in diverse environments, including ecosystem resilience under changing conditions.

  • A combination of metagenomic analyses, thermodynamic modelling and in situ measurements of gas fluxes shows that a large fraction of soil bacteria can use inorganic energy sources, such as the trace gases hydrogen and carbon monoxide, for growth and persistence.
