"Redefining dogmas in bacterial physiology: the case of mRNA"

Presented by Alexander Serganov, NYU Langone

Wednesday, March 25, 2026, 1:30 pm — Hybrid - NSLS II Bldg 745 Room 183

The degradation of mRNA plays a crucial role in determining the number of mRNA molecules and, consequently, influences the yield of protein biosynthesis across all organisms. While the regulation of mRNA lifetime is well-recognized as vital for gene expression in eukaryotes, it has long been assumed that bacteria lack sophisticated mechanisms for regulating mRNA stability and degradation. Our findings challenge this assumption, revealing that bacterial mRNAs possess unexpected properties and employ molecular mechanisms that rival in complexity those in eukaryotic systems.
