VirB, a key transcriptional regulator of Shigella virulence, requires a CTP ligand for its regulatory activities
Taylor M. Gerson,Monika Ma Karney,Jillian N. Socea,Daren R. Ginete,Lakshminarayan M. Iyer,L. Aravind,Ronald K. Gary,Helen J. Wing +7 more
TL;DR: In this article , the VirB protein was shown to be a bona fide CTP-binding protein and links Shigella virulence phenotypes to the nucleoside triphosphate, CTP.

The unexpected provenance of components in eukaryotic nucleotide-excision-repair and kinetoplast DNA-dynamics from bacterial mobile elements
TL;DR: It is shown that the ArdC-N domain was independently acquired twice by eukaryotes from bacterial mobile elements, and its parallel acquisitions gave rise to the Topoisomerase IA, DNA polymerases IB-Ds, and DNA ligases involved in kDNA dynamics.

Mechanism and evolutionary origins of Alanine-tail C-degron recognition by E3 ligases Pirh2 and CRL2-KLHDC10
Pratik Rajendra Patil,A. Maxwell Burroughs,Mohit Misra,Federico Cerullo,Ivan Dikic,L. Aravind,Claudio A. P. Joazeiro +6 more
TL;DR: In this article , the molecular basis of Ala-tail function using biochemical and in silico approaches was investigated, and it was shown that Pirh2 and KLHDC10 directly bind to Ala-tails.
