1.
Cossey S, Velicer G, Yu Y
Genes (Basel) . 2023 May; 14(5). PMID: 37239421
By targeting mRNA transcripts, non-coding small RNAs (sRNAs) regulate the expression of genes governing a wide range of bacterial functions. In the social myxobacterium , the sRNA Pxr serves as...

Schaal K, Yu Y, Vasse M, Velicer G
BMC Ecol Evol . 2022 Dec; 22(1):141. PMID: 36510120
Background: Social defectors may meet diverse cooperators. Genotype-by-genotype interactions may constrain the ranges of cooperators upon which particular defectors can cheat, limiting cheater spread. Upon starvation, the soil bacterium Myxococcus...

Pande S, Perez Escriva P, Yu Y, Sauer U, Velicer G
Curr Biol . 2020 Sep; 30(23):4745-4752.e4. PMID: 32976811
Many microbes produce stress-resistant spores to survive unfavorable conditions [1-4] and enhance dispersal [1, 5]. Cooperative behavior is integral to the process of spore formation in some species [3, 6],...

Cossey S, Yu Y, Cossu L, Velicer G
PLoS One . 2019 Nov; 14(11):e0224817. PMID: 31774841
In some species of myxobacteria, adjacent cells sufficiently similar at the adhesin protein TraA can exchange components of their outer membranes. The primary benefits of such outer membrane exchange (OME)...

Chen I, Satinsky B, Velicer G, Yu Y
Evol Dev . 2019 Feb; 21(2):82-95. PMID: 30762281
Small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) control bacterial gene expression involved in a wide range of important cellular processes. In the highly social bacterium Myxococcus xanthus, the sRNA Pxr prevents multicellular fruiting-body...

Chen I, Velicer G, Yu Y
BMC Evol Biol . 2017 Aug; 17(1):199. PMID: 28830343
Background: Non-coding small RNAs (sRNAs) regulate a variety of important biological processes across all life domains, including bacteria. However, little is known about the functional evolution of sRNAs in bacteria,...

Chen I, Griesenauer B, Yu Y, Velicer G
Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2014 Jan; 73:1-9. PMID: 24418530
In animals and plants, non-coding small RNAs regulate the expression of many genes at the post-transcriptional level. Recently, many non-coding small RNAs (sRNAs) have also been found to regulate a...

Kroos L, Yu Y, Mills D, Ferguson-Miller S
J Bacteriol . 2002 Sep; 184(19):5393-401. PMID: 12218026
The sigmaK checkpoint coordinates gene expression in the mother cell with signaling from the forespore during Bacillus subtilis sporulation. The signaling pathway involves SpoIVB, a serine peptidase produced in the...
