Many bacteria swim in liquid or swarm over solid surfaces by synthesizing rotary flagella.
The same bacteria that are motile also commonly form nonmotile multicellular aggregates …

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are central to most if not all cellular processes, dictating the
fate of virtually all RNA molecules in the cell. Starting with pioneering work on ribosomal …

Most bacterial pathogens have the remarkable ability to flourish in the external environment
and in specialized host niches. This ability requires their metabolism, physiology, and …

Transposon-encoded tnpB and iscB genes encode RNA-guided DNA nucleases that
promote their own selfish spread through targeted DNA cleavage and homologous …

The flagellum and the injectisome are two of the most complex and fascinating bacterial
nanomachines. At their core, they share a type III secretion system (T3SS), a transmembrane …

The bacterial flagellum is a complex and dynamic nanomachine that propels bacteria
through liquids. It consists of a basal body, a hook, and a long filament. The flagellar filament …

The sequence-specific RNA binding protein CsrA is employed by diverse bacteria in the
posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. Its binding interactions with RNA have …

Originally described as a repressor of gene expression in the stationary phase of growth,
CsrA (RsmA) regulates primary and secondary metabolic pathways, biofilm formation …

The carbon storage regulator (Csr) or repressor of stationary phase metabolites (Rsm)
system of Gammaproteobacteria is among the most complex and best-studied …

Post-transcriptional regulation is a very important mechanism to control gene expression in
changing environments. In the past decade, a lot of interest has been directed toward the …
