title: Feeding Anthrax: The Crystal Structure of Bacillus anthracis InhA Protease.
abstract: Pathogenic bacteria secrete proteases to evade host defense and to acquire nutrients. In this issue of Structure, Arolas et al. (2016) describe the structural basis of activation and latency of InhA, a major secreted protease of Bacillus anthracis.
