Riboswitches are structured noncoding RNA domains used by many bacteria to monitor the
concentrations of target ligands and regulate gene expression accordingly. In the past 20 …

Extracellular electron transfer (EET) is the physiological process that enables the reduction
or oxidation of molecules and minerals beyond the surface of a microbial cell. The first …

Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) are highly versatile signalling molecules that control various
important biological processes in bacteria. The best-studied example is cyclic di-GMP (c-di …

More than 55 distinct classes of riboswitches that respond to small metabolites or elemental
ions have been experimentally validated to date. The ligands sensed by these riboswitches …

Riboswitches are commonly used by bacteria to detect a variety of metabolites and ions to
regulate gene expression. To date, nearly 40 different classes of riboswitches have been …

Cyclic di-and linear oligo-nucleotide signals activate defenses against invasive nucleic
acids in animal immunity; however, their evolutionary antecedents are poorly understood …
