This study identifies SroA as a regulator linking SigS-dependent stress signaling to metabolic remodeling in S. aureus by altering gene expression related to nitrate respiration and nucleotide biosynthesis.

This paper identifies Teg16 as a small RNA that represses rsbV and modulates SigB-dependent gene expression in Staphylococcus aureus, affecting virulence and metabolic traits.

The paper identifies CsrA and CsrB as post-transcriptional regulators of miaA in E. coli, showing CsrA binds MiaA mRNA and CsrB sequesters CsrA, affecting MiaA expression and tRNA modification.
