This study identifies FlgV as a conserved flagellar component in Borrelia burgdorferi, showing its role in flagellar assembly and pathogen dissemination in mice.

The paper identifies Rpn proteins as toxin-antitoxin systems that inhibit phage infection by blocking toxic full-length proteins with their smaller, variable C-terminal domains.

This study maps RNA ends in B. burgdorferi to reveal novel transcription termination mechanisms and regulatory RNAs, showing 63% of 3' ends are upstream or internal to ORFs.

This study identifies GlnZ, a 3' UTR-derived sRNA in E. coli that regulates carbon and nitrogen metabolism by repressing glnP and sucA, enhancing survival under nitrogen limitation.

This study investigates the role of the C-terminal domain of Hfq in Escherichia coli, showing its involvement in sRNA binding and regulation through interactions with different faces of Hfq.

The paper identifies four σ28-dependent sRNAs regulating flagella biosynthesis in E. coli, showing varied effects on flagellin levels, flagella number, and motility.

The paper constructs synthetic dual-function RNAs to study how their structure affects regulatory functions.

The paper identifies AzuCR RNA in E. coli as a dual-function RNA that regulates carbon metabolism by both encoding a protein and modulating gene expression through base pairing.

The paper identifies regulatory RNA elements in bacterial 5' UTRs and ORFs using 3' end mapping, revealing new sRNA sponges and premature termination sites.

The paper reports cryo-EM structures of AcrB and the AcrBZ complex, showing how AcrZ and lipid interactions modulate AcrB activity.

The paper identifies small proteins in E. coli using ribosome profiling with stalled initiation complexes, discovering 38 new small proteins.

The paper identifies stem-loops as key determinants for precise cleavage of 3′ UTR-derived sRNAs by RNase E, showing differential sensitivity among sRNAs.
