RIL-seq revealing sRNA-mediated phage-host dialogue! What a cool finding. Big congrats on the Molecular Cell paper!
Sahar Melamed@saharmelamed.bsky.social · 8mo agoDo viruses use RNA to rewire bacteria? Yes! In our paper in @cp-molcell.bsky.social RIL-seq reveals interkingdom RNA interactions during λ infection. Phages don’t just encode proteins, they use small RNAs to hijack bacterial replication and fine-tune infection. #RNA #Phage doi.org/10.1016/j.mo...
How does a bacterial small RNA evolve new functions? Our new study reveals the stepwise evolutionary journey of UhpU, a 3′UTR-derived sRNA in E. coli and relatives. It evolved from a metabolically-focused regulator to one with expanded targets and biogenesis manner. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Happy to share our latest work published in @pnas.org In collaboration with @yjchao.bsky.social , we uncovered an RNase III-processed sRNA, ManS, that orchestrates sialic acid metabolism in Salmonella enterica during gut colonization. Link: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...
