MtvS Interacts With RNA Polymerase to Regulate the Francisella Type V-A CRISPR-Cas System CRISPR-Cas systems endow bacteria and archaea with adaptive immunity against mobile genetic elements, playing a fundamental role in shaping microbial communities. Many organisms harbor more than one C...

A very cool story from Dr Maj Brodmann in the Marraffini Lab (our upstairs neighbours!) that my advisor Prof Campbell and I were happy to have a small role in :)

KorB switching from DNA-sliding clamp to repressor mediates long-range gene silencing in a multi-drug resistance plasmid - Nature Microbiology Structural and single-molecule analyses show the CTPase, KorB, is a sliding DNA clamp that interacts with a clamp-locking protein KorA to inhibit gene expression over distances of more than 1 kb in th...
