Localization of the Bacterial RNA Infrastructure [PDF]
The bacterial RNA network includes most of the same components found in eukaryotes, and many of the interactions that under lie transcription, RNA processing and stability, translation, and protein secretion are conserved. The major difference is that all of these functions take place in a single cellular compartment.

Antibiotic drugs targeting bacterial RNAs
RNAs have diverse structures that include bulges and internal loops able to form tertiary contacts or serve as ligand binding sites. The recent increase in structural and functional information related to RNAs has put them in the limelight as a drug target for small molecule therapy.

Exploring lipid diversity and minimalism to define membrane requirements for synthetic cells
Designing the lipid membrane of synthetic cells is a complex task, in which its various roles (among them solute transport, membrane protein support, and self‐replication) should all be integrated. In this review, we report the latest top‐down and bottom‐up advances and discuss compatibility and complexity issues of current engineering approaches ...

Accurately assembling nanopore sequencing data of highly pathogenic bacteria
Background Bacterial genome exploration and outbreak analysis rely heavily on robust whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Widely-used genomic methods, such as genotyping and detection of genetic markers demand high sequencing accuracy and

The Arabidopsis mutants hls1 hlh1 and amp1 lamp1 exhibit pleiotropic developmental phenotypes. Although the functions of the causative genes remain unclear, they act in the same genetic pathway and are thought to generate non‐cell‐autonomous signals.

Single-Cell RNA Sequencing of Plant-Associated Bacterial Communities
Plants in soil are not solitary, hence continually interact with and obtain benefits from a community of microbes (“microbiome”). The meta-functional output from the microbiome results from complex interactions among the different community members with ...

Programmable control of bacterial gene expression with the combined CRISPR and antisense RNA system
A central goal of synthetic biology is to implement diverse cellular functions by predictably controlling gene expression. Though research has focused more on protein regulators than RNA regulators, recent advances in our understanding of RNA folding and

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...
