Expanding the LuxR-type receptor functional repertoire: Protein-protein interactions in quorum sensing regulation Quorum sensing (QS) enables bacteria to coordinate gene expression in response to population density, with LuxR-type transcription factors playing a central role in this process for many Gram-negative...

A true labor of love for @calebmallery.bsky.social is out now in PLOS Pathogens: a review article where we highlight current and emerging examples of key protein-protein interactions with LuxR-type receptors that control community behaviors and pathogenesis.

When organisms look similar, you can use a tag to tell them apart. We wanted to tag our collection of diverse Sphingomonas bacteria with DNA barcodes to distinguish them. We planned to use Tn7, until we saw new reports about CRISPR-associated transposons (CASTs).

New in JB: In the CF airway, P. aeruginosa transitions from an acute to chronic pathogen. Roxana Flores-Vega, Roberto Rosales-Reyes et al. review the role of 2-component systems in this crucial adaptation.
