Lag is a temporary period of nonreplication seen in bacteria that are introduced to new
media. Despite latency being described by Müller in 1895, only recently have we gained …

Emerging models of the bacterial nucleoid show that nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs)
and transcription contribute in combination to the dynamic nature of nucleoid structure …

Gene expression occurs in two essential steps: transcription and translation. In bacteria, the
two processes are tightly coupled in time and space, and highly regulated. Tight regulation …

Nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) are global regulators of gene expression in
Escherichia coli, which affect DNA conformation by bending, wrapping and bridging the …

An overview was made to understand the regulation system of a bacterial cell such as
Escherichia coli in response to nutrient limitation such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphate …

The vast majority of experimental data have been accumulated on the transcription
regulation of individual genes within a single model prokaryote, Escherichia coli, which form …

CRISPR-associated transposases (CASTs) direct DNA integration downstream of target
sites using the RNA-guided DNA binding activity of nuclease-deficient CRISPR-Cas …

How to adapt to a changing environment is a fundamental, recurrent problem confronting
cells. One solution is for cells to organize their constituents into a limited number of spatially …

Curli are adhesive fimbriae of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica. Expression of curli
(csgA) and cellulose (bcsA) is co‐activated by the transcriptional activator CsgD. In this …

Gene expression is controlled by the joint effect of (i) the global physiological state of the
cell, in particular the activity of the gene expression machinery, and (ii) DNA‐binding …
