Stress-induced ribosome degradation in Bacillus subtilis is mediated by the RNase Y-specificity complex

Fabián A. Cornejo, Kristina Driller, Rina Ahmed-Begrich, Katja Schmidt, Michael Jahn, Vivekanandan Shanmuganathan, Karin Hahnke, Florian Kondrot, Thomas F. Wulff, Sebastian Rämisch, Kathirvel Alagesan, Emmanuelle Charpentier, Kürşad Turgay

The paper identifies the Y-complex as a regulator of RNase Y specificity in Bacillus subtilis, showing it mediates stress-induced ribosome degradation by targeting rRNA.

Dynamics of diversified A-to-I editing in Streptococcus pyogenes is governed by changes in mRNA stability

Thomas F. Wulff, Karin Hahnke, Anne-Laure Lécrivain, Katja Schmidt, Rina Ahmed-Begrich, Knut Finstermeier, Emmanuelle Charpentier

The paper identifies A-to-I editing in Streptococcus pyogenes, showing it diversifies and is regulated by mRNA stability in response to infection-related stimuli.
