Adaptive gene transcription in Escherichia coli under environmental stress

Pingzhuang Ge, Fatema‐Zahra M. Rashid, Luuk Gaarthuis…·Remus Thei Dame

This study investigates how H-NS and StpA regulate gene expression in E. coli under acid and osmotic stress by analyzing transcription, DNA binding, and chromatin structure at specific operons.

The environmentally-regulated interplay between local three-dimensional chromatin organisation and transcription of proVWX in E. coli

Fatema‐Zahra M. Rashid, Frédéric G. E. Crémazy, Andreas Hofmann…·Remus Thei Dame

The paper provides in vivo evidence that NAP-mediated chromosome re-modelling regulates transcription of the osmoresponsive proVWX operon in E. coli by destabilizing and re-establishing H-NS bridges under hyperosmotic conditions.
