Evidence of mutually exclusive outflow forms from a black hole X-ray binary

Coordinated X-ray and radio observations reveal that disk winds and jets occur mutually exclusively in 4U 1630–472, providing new observational constraints on the interplay between different modes of outflow in X-ray binaries.

Biophysical characterization of Eag chaperones suggests the mechanism of effector transmembrane domain release

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) and Eag chaperones deliver toxic membrane protein effectors into rival cells. However, it is unknown how Eags and their effectors dissociate. Here, the authors show Eag chaperones bind effectors tightly and may release them via a subtle conformational change.
