The paper identifies new Rae1 cleavage sites and shows that ribosome stalling and collisions trigger mRNA decay in Bacillus subtilis, with sequence context influencing cleavage efficiency.

This study shows RNase J2 in B. subtilis acts as a specificity factor for RNase J1, enhancing its degradation of mRNAs and influencing biofilm formation and swarming.

The paper uses structured illumination microscopy to study spore coat assembly in B. subtilis, revealing dynamic protein redistribution and interlayer interactions during spore formation.

This study identifies a new Rae1 target, fliY mRNA, and shows Rae1 cleavage occurs upstream of stalled ribosomes, not in the A-site, revealing a novel mechanism for mRNA cleavage.

The paper identifies unconventional mRNA processing and degradation pathways for the polycistronic yrzI mRNA in B. subtilis, involving translation-dependent cleavage and 3'-exoribonuclease action.

This study identifies sequence elements that direct RNase Y cleavage in Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, showing how RNA structure and sequence influence cleavage efficiency and positioning.

The paper identifies endonucleolytic cleavage sites in Bacillus subtilis using transcriptome-wide mapping and deep mutational scanning, revealing distinct sequence determinants for different endoribonucleases.
