Featured Works

Molecular dissection of the glutamine synthetase-GlnR nitrogen regulatory circuitry in Gram-positive bacteria.

Journal issue Nat Commun · July 1, 2022 Featured Publication How bacteria sense and respond to nitrogen levels are central questions in microbial physiology. In Gram-positive bacteria, nitrogen homeostasis is controlled by an operon encoding glutamine synthetase (GS), a dodecameric machine that assimilates ammonium ... Full text Link to item Cite

DNA mismatches reveal conformational penalties in protein-DNA recognition.

Journal article Nature · November 2020 Featured Publication Transcription factors recognize specific genomic sequences to regulate complex gene-expression programs. Although it is well-established that transcription factors bind to specific DNA sequences using a combination of base readout and shape recognition, so ... Full text Open Access Link to item Cite
