title: Bacterial warfare again targets the ribosome.
abstract: In this issue of Structure, Beck and colleagues describe the structure of the Enterobacter cloacae contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) toxin in complex with its immunity protein. Further functional studies reveal that CDI targets translation by cleaving 16S ribosomal RNA.
