Most bacteria encode a large repertoire of RNA-based regulatory mechanisms. Recent
discoveries have revealed that the expression of many genes is controlled by a plethora of …

In Escherichia coli, the rpoH gene encoding the essential heat‐shock regulator σ32, is
expressed in a complex manner. Transcription occurs from four promoters (P1, P3, P4 and …

The human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans relies on a complex signaling
network for the adaptation and survival at the host temperature. Protein phosphatase …

Calcineurin is a conserved calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine-specific protein
phosphatase that acts in cell stress responses. Calcineurin is essential for growth at 37° C …

Certain bacteria are able to conserve energy via the reductive dehalogenation of halo‐
organic compounds in a respiration‐type metabolism. The transcriptional regulator CprK …

The HspR protein functions as a negative regulator of chaperone and protease gene
expression in a diversity of bacteria. Here we have identified, cloned and deleted the …

The marine picocyanobacterium Prochlorococcus contributes significantly to global primary
production, and its abundance and diversity is shaped in part by viral infection. Here, we …

Escherichia coli RtcB exemplifies a family of GTP-dependent RNA repair/splicing enzymes
that join 3′-PO4 ends to 5′-OH ends via stable RtcB-(histidinyl-N)-GMP and transient …

The ability to sense and adapt to a hostile host environment is a crucial element for virulence
of pathogenic fungi, including Cryptococcus neoformans. These cellular responses are …

Post-transcriptional control provides bacterial pathogens a method by which they can rapidly
adapt to environmental change. Dual exo-and endonucleolytic activities of RNase J …
