Is it anything Hfq-like (RNA chaperone)? Or similar to CsrA (global translation modulator)? We don't know yet. But as it stands, Bacteroidota RRM proteins appear as excellent candidates to map post-transcriptional networks in a substantial fraction of the microbiota. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

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...

Well, with the new activity here, thought I'd post some threads with some of our recent work -- starting with our paper where we use Bayesian statistical modeling to show bacterial transcripts have subminute half-lives, far shorter than previously thought 🧫🦠🧬💻 #RNAsky www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Wonderful! Thank you @plos.org for choosing our paper! We definitely put some love into this project :)
Our new (social media) era at @plos.org has officially started - this is the first @plosbiology.org research paper to be posted on Bluesky and *not* on X. Give it some love!
