Latest from the Westermann lab investigating the RNA biology of the human gut commensal B. thetaiotaomicron -- the RNA-binding protein RbpB regulates polysaccharide utilization through interactions with 14 (?!) paralogous sRNAs 🧪🦠 #RNASky
The global RNA-binding protein RbpB is a regulator of polysaccharide utilization in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron - Nature Communications
Gut Bacteroides deploy several polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs) to forage diverse dietary and host-derived glycans. Here, the authors identify the RNA-binding protein RbpB and a family of noncod...

Treponema pallidum, the syphilis spirochete, expressing GFP provides visual insights on infectious properties. Neat work from Melissa Caimano and colleagues!

The control of flagellar synthesis and function in the Lyme spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi is poorly understood, as this pathogen lacks the typical flagellar sigma factor and transcriptional regulato...
