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.

Functional Characterization of the RNA Chaperone Hfq in the Opportunistic Human Pathogen Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. [*Roscetto M, *Angrisano T, co-first authors]. [PDF]
Hfq is an RNA-binding protein known to regulate a variety of cellular processes by interacting with small RNAs (sRNAs) and mRNAs in prokaryotes. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an important opportunistic pathogen affecting primarily hospitalized and ...

Hfq proximity and orientation controls RNA annealing [PDF]
Regulation of bacterial gene networks by small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) requires base pairing with messenger RNA (mRNA) targets, which is facilitated by Hfq protein. Hfq is recruited to sRNAs and mRNAs through U-rich- and A-rich-binding sites, respectively, but their distance from the sRNA-mRNA complementary region varies widely among different genes ...

Role of the Sinorhizobium meliloti Global Regulator Hfq in Gene Regulation and Symbiosis
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 ...

Matrix-Monotonic Optimization for MIMO Systems [PDF]
For MIMO systems, due to the deployment of multiple antennas at both the transmitter and the receiver, the design variables e.g., precoders, equalizers, training sequences, etc. are usually matrices.

Dynamic transition in Landau-Zener-St\"uckelberg interferometry of dissipative systems: the case of the flux qubit [PDF]
We study Landau-Zener-Stuckelberg (LZS) interferometry in multilevel systems coupled to an Ohmic quantum bath. We consider the case of superconducting flux qubits driven by a dc+ac magnetic fields, but our results can apply to other similar systems.

Non‐conserved microRNAs and their roles in plants: the case for legumes
Non‐conserved miRNAs are functional and modulate stress and microbial interactions in legumes, hinting at broader roles in plant gene regulation. Abstract Several classes of small RNAs function to regulate stress and development pathways in all kingdoms of life.
