The Lord of the Rings: Cysteine bonds crosslink the tail of siphovirus
Abstract Long, non‐contractile tails composed of helical hexameric protein repeats that assemble into continuous tubular structures characterize siphoviruses. The siphovirus tail tube protein gp39 contains two cysteine residues per monomer. Cryo‐electron microscopy revealed that these cysteines are oriented toward the interface between the rings, which

Despite common perception, most of Earth is what is often referred to as an 'extreme environment.' Yet to the organisms that call these places home, it is simply that (home). They have adapted to thrive in these environments and, in the process, have evolved many unique adaptations at the molecular- and 'omic-level.

Bacterial sigma factors as targets for engineered or synthetic transcriptional control
Sigma (σ) factors are the predominant constituents of transcription regulation in bacteria. σ factors recruit the core RNA polymerase (RNAP) to recognize promoters with specific DNA sequences. Recently engineering of transcriptional regulators has become
