Dr. Lin-Chao Sue, Distinguished Research Fellow, and Dr. Oleg N. Murashko, Postdoctoral Fellow, from the Institute of Molecular Biology, Academia Sinica have elucidated a mechanism by which Escherichia coli (E. coli) uses enolase-bound degradosomes to switch from rod-shaped to filamentous form in response to anaerobiosis. Their study has finally revealed the reason for the presence of the glycolytic enzyme enolase in the RNA degradosomes of E. coli. The research was published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America on September 5, 2017.
