From environmental signals to adaptive phenotypes: signal-responsive regulation and network logic of bacterial small RNAs

Abstract Bacterial regulatory small RNAs (sRNAs) are integral components of posttranscriptional control, shaping environmental adaptation, metabolic homeostasis, and virulence. Advances in transcriptomics and RNA technologies have greatly expanded the repertoire of bacterial sRNAs and revealed their extensive roles in...

Transcriptional kinases drive gene expression network plasticity.

This work highlights non-canonical transcriptional kinases that could operate alongside and beyond CDKs to modulate transcription by RNAPII, and discusses how these kinases could introduce context-specific CTD modifications that enable transcriptional plasticity, facilitate rapid loci-specific activation, and integrate...
