Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) encoding the production of bacteriocins are widespread among bacterial isolates and are important genetic determinants of competitive fitness within a given habitat. Staphylococci produce a tremendous diversity of compounds, and the corresponding BGCs are frequen...

Iron is an essential element for several cellular processes and recent evidence highlighted its role in regulating the function of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). When in excess it reduces quiescence and self-renewal, however, whether and how iron influences HSC metabolism is still unknown. Here, w...

Antifungal resistance, particularly the rise in multidrug resistance, has become a critical public health concern, garnering substantial attention. In this study, we used experimental evolution with Neurospora crassa as a model and identified a novel multidrug-resistance gene, msp-8, which encodes a...

Mutations in the rifampicin (Rif)-binding site of RNA polymerase (RNAP) impart antibiotic resistance and inextricably affect transcription initiation, elongation, and termination properties as well. At each step of the transcription cycle, RNAP responds to non-essential transcription factors, signal...

The experiment was designed to infer the fitness cost of rifampicin-resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis through expression analysis. The approach relied on: 1. Tracking the expression changes occurring as a result of the rifampicin-resistance conferring mutation Ser450Leu in RpoB and subsequent...

The fidelity of signal transmission requires the binding of regulatory molecules to their cognate targets. However, the crowded cell interior risks off-target interactions between proteins that are functionally unrelated. Understanding the constraints this imposes on cell systems evolution requires ...

In Drosophila melanogaster, mating radically transforms female physiology and behavior. Post-mating responses include an increase in the oviposition rate, a reduction in female receptivity, and an activation of the immune system . The fitness consequences of mating are similarly dramatic – females m...

Sulfonamides are traditional synthetic antimicrobial agents used in clinical and veterinary medical settings. Their long-term excessive overuse has resulted in widespread microbial resistance, limiting their application for medical interventions. Resistance to sulfonamides is primarily conferred by ...
