Aboard the LetB express

How Gram-negative bacteria transport glycerophospholipids between membranes remains a major point of inquiry for cell envelope biologists. Two groups report cryo-EM structures and functional studies of LetB (YebT), providing support for its involvement in cell envelope maintenance.
