Latest from the Westermann lab investigating the RNA biology of the human gut commensal B. thetaiotaomicron -- the RNA-binding protein RbpB regulates polysaccharide utilization through interactions with 14 (?!) paralogous sRNAs 🧪🦠 #RNASky

nature.comThe global RNA-binding protein RbpB is a regulator of polysaccharide utilization in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron - Nature CommunicationsGut Bacteroides deploy several polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs) to forage diverse dietary and host-derived glycans. Here, the authors identify the RNA-binding protein RbpB and a family of noncod...

🚨In the latest pub from the Adams Lab we corrected a gene annotation mistake in B. burdorferi (there is no Hfq) and discovered FlgV — a broadly conserved flagellar assembly factor! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

nature.comBroadly conserved FlgV controls flagellar assembly and Borrelia burgdorferi dissemination in mice - Nature CommunicationsThe control of flagellar synthesis and function in the Lyme spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi is poorly understood, as this pathogen lacks the typical flagellar sigma factor and transcriptional regulato...
