KH domain proteins: Another family of bacterial RNA matchmakers?

Mikolaj Olejniczak et al.

Summary: In many bacteria, the stability and function of sRNAs are dependent on RNA chaperone proteins like Hfq or ProQ/FinO-domain proteins. However, some bacteria lack these chaperone proteins, leading to the investigation of KH domain proteins like KhpA and KhpB as potential sRNA chaperones. Therefore, these KH domain proteins may serve as sRNA chaperones in certain bacteria.

Expansion and re-classification of the extracytoplasmic function (ECF) σ factor family

Delia Casas-Pastor et al.

Summary: Extracytoplasmic function sigma factors (ECFs) play a major role in bacterial signal transduction mechanisms, with our comprehensive phylogenetic analysis identifying numerous new ECF groups and expanding classification efforts. This detailed description of the phylogenetic distribution of the ECF family will serve as a powerful tool for guiding future research in the field.

Rescuing the Last-Line Polymyxins: Achievements and Challenges

Sue C. Nang et al.

Summary: Antibiotic resistance is a major global health challenge, and polymyxins have been revived as a last-line therapeutic option for infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram negative bacteria. Recent efforts have been made to elucidate the properties of polymyxins and develop scientifically based dosage regimens to ensure safe and effective use. Challenges remain in optimizing clinical use and discovering new-generation polymyxins to overcome toxicities and narrow therapeutic windows.

A rooted phylogeny resolves early bacterial evolution

Gareth A. Coleman et al.

Summary: Rooted bacterial tree is essential for understanding early evolution, with most gene families showing evidence of horizontal gene transfer. The last bacterial common ancestor is suggested to be a flagellated, rod-shaped double-membraned organism. Contrary to recent proposals, the Candidate Phyla Radiation is not placed at the base, but branches sister to Chloroflexota within Terrabacteria.
