Over the past two decades, small noncoding RNAs (sRNAs) that regulate mRNAs by short
base pairing have gone from a curiosity to a major class of post-transcriptional regulators in …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pae) is an opportunistic pathogen showing a high intrinsic
resistance to a wide variety of antibiotics. It causes nosocomial infections that are particularly …

Bacteriophages must seize control of the host gene expression machinery to replicate. To
bypass bacterial anti-phage defence systems, this host takeover occurs immediately upon …

Bacteriophages are highly abundant viruses of bacteria. The major role of phages in
shaping bacterial communities and their emerging medical potential as antibacterial agents …

Much of our current knowledge about cellular RNA–protein complexes in bacteria is derived
from analyses in gram-negative model organisms, with the discovery of RNA-binding …

New methods for the global identification of RNA–protein interactions have led to greater
recognition of the abundance and importance of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in bacteria …

In the last decade, powerful high-throughput sequencing approaches have emerged to
analyse microbial transcriptomes at a global scale. However, to date, applications of these …

Nucleus-forming phages (chimalliviruses) encode numerous genes responsible for creating
intricate structures for viral replication. Research on this newly appreciated family of phages …

Macromolecular complexes of proteins and RNAs are essential building blocks of cells.
These stable supramolecular particles can be viewed as minimal biochemical units whose …

FinO-domain proteins represent an emerging family of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) with
diverse roles in bacterial post-transcriptional control and physiology. They exhibit an …
