Do viruses use RNA to rewire bacteria? Yes! In our paper in @cp-molcell.bsky.social RIL-seq reveals interkingdom RNA interactions during λ infection. Phages don’t just encode proteins, they use small RNAs to hijack bacterial replication and fine-tune infection. #RNA #Phage doi.org/10.1016/j.mo...

cell.comPhage-encoded small RNA hijacks host replication machinery to support the phage lytic cycleUsing RIL-seq, Silverman et al. map the RNA interactome of E. coli during phage lambda infection and uncover a conserved phage-encoded sRNA that activates host replication machinery. Their findings re...

Excited to share this major paper spearheaded by Janka J. Schmidt; a great team effort by four groups of our Research Training Group MiCon funded by the DFG: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40193708/

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.govTwo redox-responsive LysR-type transcription factors control the oxidative stress response of Agrobacterium tumefaciens - PubMedPathogenic bacteria often encounter fluctuating reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, particularly during host infection, necessitating robust redox-sensing mechanisms for survival. The LysR-type tran...
