During the peer-review process the editor and reviewers write an eLife assessment that summarises the significance of the findings reported in the article (on a scale ranging from landmark to useful) ...

The MacAB-TolC complex, known as a multidrug efflux pump, spans the cell’s inner and outer membranes, as well as the periplasm that connects them. Each protein occupies a different location ...

They also have a sophisticated plumbing system in the form of a three-part protein complex – MacAB-TolC – that spans the cell's inner and outer membranes, as well as the periplasm that ...

Collectively, our results suggest that LTGs prevent toxic crowding of the periplasm with synthesis-derived peptidoglycan polymers and, contrary to prevailing models, that this autolytic function can ...
