Identifying Subcellular Structure Components in Escherichia Coli by Crosslinking and SEC‐MS
ABSTRACT Cells are comprised of a broad spectrum of structures that compartmentalize biochemical and signaling mechanisms. These structures can be comprised of many biomolecules, but especially lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Techniques are limited to quantify or discover new subcellular structures.

Simulating bacterial transcription and translation in a stochastic pi-calculus [PDF]
International audienceStochastic simulation of genetic networks based on models in the stochastic pi-calculus is a promising recent approach. This paper contributes an extensible model of the central mechanisms of gene ex- pression i.e. transcription and

Maturation of Polycistronic mRNAs by the Endoribonuclease RNase Y and Its Associated Y-Complex in Bacillus Subtilis [PDF]
Endonucleolytic cleavage within polycistronic mRNAs can lead to differential stability, and thus discordant abundance, among cotranscribed genes. RNase Y, the major endonuclease for mRNA decay in Bacillus subtilis, was originally identified for its ...

Under iron‐limited conditions, FsrA base‐pairs with the intergenic region between epeX and epeE, enhancing epeE translation and triggering EPE production. Toxin‐mediated cell lysis releases nutrients, including iron, which can be taken up by surviving cells.

Metabolic Origin, Role and Fate of the Denaturant Guanidine
The origin of metabolic guanidine is largely a mystery. We suggest it is created when guanine‐containing nucleotides are oxidised by molecular oxygen instead of being broken down into urea as purines normally would. Guanidine may act as a signal to help cells control the level of reactive oxygen species.

CRP-cAMP mediates silencing of Salmonella virulence at the post-transcriptional level [PDF]
Invasion of epithelial cells by Salmonella enterica requires expression of genes located in the pathogenicity island I (SPI-1). The expression of SPI-1 genes is very tightly regulated and activated only under specific conditions.

Synthesis of empty bacterial microcompartments, directed organelle protein incorporation, and evidence of filament-associated organelle movement [PDF]
Compartmentalization is an important process, since it allows the segregation of metabolic activities and, in the era of synthetic biology, represents an important tool by which defined microenvironments can be created for specific metabolic functions ...

In quiescent PECs, Eno1 binds to the 3′ UTR of CXCL12 mRNA to prevent translation. Following activation, lactate is accumulated and then mediates an increase in lysine lactylation. Eno1, a substrate in this modification, releases bound CXCL12 mRNA upon lactylation to promote translation. Meanwhile, the activity of Eno1 as a glycolytic enzyme increases,

Background Transition from planktonic cells to biofilm is mediated by production of adhesion factors, such as extracellular polysaccharides (EPS), and modulated by complex regulatory networks that, in addition to controlling production of adhesion ...
