AltORF-encoded microprotein recruits primary-ORF-encoded dehydrogenase to cell poles upon heat shock

Janka J. Schmidt, Félix Ramos‐León, Aixia Zhang…·Gisela Storz

The paper identifies an altORF-encoded microprotein, GndA, that facilitates stress-dependent relocalization of its primary ORF partner, Gnd, in E. coli during heat shock.

RNA-RNA Interactome Approaches Provide in vivo Evidence for a Critical Role of the Hfq Rim Face in sRNA-mRNA Pairing

Xing Luo, Aixia Zhang, Caroline Esnault…·Susan Gottesman

The paper uses RIL-seq to show that Hfq's rim face is critical for sRNA-mRNA pairing in vivo, while distal and proximal faces have less impact.
