Role of the Sinorhizobium meliloti Global Regulator Hfq in Gene Regulation and Symbiosis
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2010 The RNA-binding protein Hfq is a global regulator which controls diverse cellular processes in bacteria. To begin understanding the role of Hfq in the Sinorhizobium meliloti–Medicago truncatula nitrogen-fixing symbiosis, we defined free-living and ...

Impact of Hfq on the Bacillus subtilis transcriptome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The RNA chaperone Hfq acts as a central player in post-transcriptional gene regulation in several Gram-negative Bacteria, whereas comparatively little is known about its role in Gram-positive Bacteria.

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 9, September 2025.Investigation of outer membrane vesicles from Acinetobacter baumannii for potential biotechnological applications. ABSTRACT Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are extracellular nanostructures released from Gram‐negative bacteria. Acinetobacter baumannii OMVs (AbOMVs) have been extensively studied and can thus be used as a model for understanding multiple ...

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 16, Page 2318-2333, August 2025.This work presents the characterization of MvoDUF2193, a Methanococcus voltae (Mvo) protein from the domain of unknown function (DUF) 2193 family. We demonstrate that MvoDUF2193 binds a single [4Fe–4S] cluster per subunit and that cluster occupancy regulates the transition from an apo tetramer to a [4Fe–4S] monomeric form. This structural transition is

RNA binding of Hfq monomers promotes RelA-mediated hexamerization in a limiting Hfq environment
Nature Communications, 2021 RelA stimulates RyhB small RNA–target mRNA interaction by promoting assembly of Hfq monomers into hexamers. Here the authors show that RelA-mediated Hfq hexamerization requires an initial binding of RNA to Hfq monomers.

iMeta, Volume 4, Issue 4, August 2025.In this study, we found evidence of phage‐mediated horizontal transfer of virulence genes in Salmonella enterica in global habitats from a molecular evolutionary perspective. Notably, csrA, a global regulator in Salmonella enterica, curbed horizontal gene transfer by inhibiting the cyclization and release of prophage.

mLife, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 447-460, August 2025.Abstract Extractable glycolipids of mycobacteria, such as lipooligosaccharides (LOSs), play crucial roles in responding to environmental stress and modulating the host immune response. Although the biosynthesis of LOS is likely regulated at multiple levels to ensure proper composition of the cell wall, the key regulators remain unknown.
