Loss of PmpC in Chlamydia trachomatis leads to altered bacterial development and impaired recovery from IFNγ- and penicillin-induced stress

ABSTRACT Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular pathogen that can reversibly halt replication and developmental transitions in response to immunological or pharmacological stress, a phenomenon linked to chlamydial persistence. Although polymorphic membrane proteins (Pmps) are known adhesins, their broader r...

Encoding Cell‐Surface Receptor Function Through Glycosylation: Lessons From CD44

Cell surface receptors are traditionally conceptualized as discrete molecular entities whose functional diversity arises primarily from gene expression and protein sequence variation. However, this view overlooks the extensive heterogeneity generated by post‐translational modifications, particularly glycosylation, whic...

Glycosylation Encodes Selective Galectin Recognition and Signaling by Osteopontin

Post-translational modifications critically regulate extracellular molecular recognition, yet their roles in intrinsically disordered proteins remain poorly defined. Here, we integrate glycoproteomics, NMR, and cellular assays to reveal how glycosylation shapes the interaction network of osteopontin (OPN), a highly g...
