Heme binding to a bacterial transcription factor is critical for hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) signaling, report researchers from Japan. Heme binding promotes the reaction of H 2 S with the transcription ...

The common commensal gut bacterium Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron uses phase separation of the transcription termination factor Rho to colonize and thrive in the mammalian gut, according to a new study ...

This method for directly enriching the 5´ end of primary transcripts enables the determination of transcription start sites at single-base resolution. Coupled with long read sequencing, the method ...

To better understand how RNA in bacteria gives rise to protein--and along the way, target these processes in the design of new antibiotics--researchers are turning their attention to the unique way ...
