RecBCD Prevents Bacterial Autoimmunity by Clearing Self-DNA Ends Produced During Replication Termination

Apurva A. Govande, Brooke Ramsey, Irem Ünlü, Susan K. Amundsen, Toni A. Nagy, Albur Hassan, Marina Smiley, Catherine Trautman, Aaron T. Whiteley, Gerald R. Smith, Sangjin Kim, Hoong Chuin Lim

The paper shows that RecBCD clears self-DNA ends during bacterial replication termination to prevent autoimmunity, similar to TREX1 and DBR1 in eukaryotes.

Re-defining how mRNA degradation is coordinated with transcription and translation in bacteria

Seunghyeon Kim, Yu-Huan Wang, Albur Hassan, Sangjin Kim

This study investigates how mRNA degradation is coordinated with transcription and translation in bacteria, finding that RNase E localization and translation affect mRNA stability in Escherichia coli and other species.
