Dormant Bacteria's Fatal Attraction to RNA Bacteriophages

Qiu Zhong, Qianyu Hu, Leilei Wei, Ying Yang, Hebin Liao, Zhuojun Zhong, J. B. Liu, Fan Xie, Xinyu Jiang, Jianglin Liao, Zongyue Chen, Xuesong He, Liting Wang, Yingying Pu, Jintao Liu, SUN Le

The paper shows RNA phages are eliminated in dormant bacteria via ROS-mediated damage, but survival depends on genomic redundancy through co-infection.

Aggresomes protect mRNA under stress in Escherichia coli

Linsen Pei, Yujia Xian, Xiaodan Yan, Charley Schaefer, Aisha H. Syeda, Jamieson A. L. Howard, Wei Yan Zhang, Hebin Liao, Fan Bai, Mark C. Leake, Yingying Pu

The paper shows that aggresomes in E. coli store mRNA under stress, aiding rapid recovery by protecting mRNA from degradation and facilitating translation reactivation.

Cyclic di-GMP as an Antitoxin Regulates Bacterial Genome Stability and Antibiotic Persistence in Biofilms

Hebin Liao, Xiaodan Yan, Chenyi Wang, Chun Huang, Wei Zhang, Leyi Xiao, Jun Jiang, Yongjia Bao, Tao Huang, Han‐Bo Zhang, Chunming Guo, Yufeng Zhang, Yingying Pu

The paper identifies a toxin-antitoxin system in biofilms where c-di-GMP regulates genome stability and antibiotic persistence by controlling HipH activity.
