This study reveals the structural basis for Rifamycin B's activity against rifampicin-resistant RNA polymerase, showing its unique binding mechanism and potential for drug development.

The paper shows that in Bacillus subtilis, transcription and translation of a transmembrane protein are coupled, causing the gene to shift from the nucleoid to the plasma membrane.

This study shows that Seb1, a conserved CID-RRM factor, acts as a transcription elongation factor in fission yeast by modulating Pol II pausing.
