In the architecture of the outer membrane complex PelBC for Pel export, the essential periplasmic ring of twelve PelC lipoproteins is mounted on top of the PelB β-barrel.

In Bacillus subtilis, c-di-AMP levels are modulated by the cyclase regulator CdaR in response to cell wall defects. Great work by @apbrogan.bsky.social et al.
