Author summary Escherichia coli is a human gut commensal but also a main opportunistic pathogen responsible for extra-intestinal infections such as bloodstream infections. These infections are particularly severe and have been increasing in frequency. Furthermore, E. coli has become more resistant to antibiotics, rendering treatment difficult. To decipher whether bacterial genetic traits are…

Mashup Score: 0Loss of YhcB results in dysregulation of coordinated peptidoglycan, LPS and phospholipid synthesis during Escherichia coli cell growth - 2 year(s) ago
Author summary All life depends on a cell envelope to enclose the chemical reactions that make life possible. But how do cell envelopes grow? How each component of the cell envelope is incorporated into the envelope at the correct amount, in the correct place, and at the correct time, to prevent cell death, has been a long-standing question in bacteriology. Using a unique combination of high…

Mashup Score: 3An optimal growth law for RNA composition and its partial implementation through ribosomal and tRNA gene locations in bacterial genomes - 2 year(s) ago
Author summary Unlike the proteome composition, RNA composition is often assumed to be independent of growth rate in bacteria, despite experimental evidence for a growth rate dependence in many microbes. In this work, we derived a growth-rate dependent optimal tRNA/rRNA concentration ratio by minimizing the combined costs of ribosome and ternary complex at the required protein production rate….

Summary XACT-seq (“crosslink between active-center and template sequencing”) is a technique for high-throughput, single-nucleotide resolution mapping of RNA polymerase (RNAP) active-center positions relative to the DNA template. XACT-seq overcomes limitations of approaches that rely on analysis of the RNA 3′ end (e.g., native elongating transcript sequencing) or that…

Author summary Mobile genetic elements have been extensively studied due to their role as agents of genetic innovation and rapid adaptation in prokaryotes. Specifically, prokaryotic plasmids have been the focus of investigation in the context of bacterial survival under growth limiting conditions with the prime example of resistance to antibiotics and heavy metals. In contrast, plasmids that…
