E. coli prepares for starvation by dramatically remodeling its proteome in the first hours after loss of nutrients

Théo Gervais, Bjoern Kscheschinski, Michael Mell…·Thomas Julou

This study shows E. coli rapidly remodels its proteome during early starvation, with gene expression patterns in the first 10 hours determining long-term stress tolerance.

Growth rate controls the sensitivity of gene regulatory circuits

Thomas Julou, Théo Gervais, Daan H. de Groot, Erik van Nimwegen

The paper shows that growth rate affects the sensitivity of gene regulatory switches in E. coli, with experiments confirming theoretical predictions about inducer concentration thresholds.
