Phosphorylation of histone H3 at Ser10 increases chromatin accessibility to transcription factor NF-κB on a subset of genes involved in immune responses. Here we report that a bacterial pathogen ...

Improved understanding of how bacterial defense mechanisms operate may help scientists select phages with the best chance of ...

The team established that sequestration of the transcription factor increased its activity, which modified the expression of hundreds of bacterial genes, including several that promote gut ...

The microbes that inhabit the gut are critical for human health, and understanding the factors that encourage the growth of beneficial bacterial species — known as "good" bacteria — in the gut ...

The findings of the study, which are published in Nature Communications, show that when bacterial cells encounter patterned grooves on a surface, they lose their ability to form biofilms. Biofilms ...
