Highly specific mRNA cleavage by the MazF endoribonuclease orchestrates stationary transcriptome remodeling and rapid regrowth in Gram-positive bacteria

Regev Frenkel, Shira Omer Bendori, Tom Borenstein…·Avigdor Eldar

This study shows that MazF toxin in Gram-positive bacteria specifically cleaves mRNAs to regulate stress response and enable rapid regrowth.

An unprecedented DNA recognition-mimicry switch governs induction in arbitrium phages

Cora Chmielowska, Sara Zamora‐Caballero, Javier Mancheño-Bonillo…·José R. Penadés

The paper reveals a DNA recognition-mimicry switch mechanism in SPBeta-like phages where an antirepressor inactivates a repressor via DNA mimicry, enabling lytic induction under SOS conditions and in the absence of neighboring prophages.
