The exosome multiprotein complex plays a critical role in RNA processing and degradation. This system governs the regulation of mRNA quality, degradation in the cytoplasm, the processing of short noncoding RNA, and the breakdown of RNA fragments. We determined two crystal structures of exosome components from (): one with a resolution of 2.

Posttranscriptional processes in Bacteria include the association of small regulatory RNAs (sRNA) with a target mRNA. The sRNA/mRNA annealing process is often mediated by an RNA chaperone called Hfq. The functional role of bacterial and eukaryotic Lsm proteins is partially understood, whereas knowledge about archaeal Lsm proteins is scarce.

Membrane vesicles (MVs), also described as extracellular vesicles (EVs), exosomes, or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), are nano-sized (10-300 nm) spherical, membrane-bound structures deriving from the cell envelope. MVs have been studied extensively in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic systems, revealing a plethora of unique functions including cell-to-cell communication and protection of the cell. They are able to encapsulate specific cargos from nucleic acids to proteins, thereby concentrating cargo and providing protection from the extracellular environment.

Microbial communities are considered decisive for maintaining a healthy situation or for determining diseases. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is an important complication of atherosclerosis caused by the rupture of atheroma plaques containing proinflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species, oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL), damaged proteins, lipids, and DNA, a microenvironment compatible with a pathogenic microbial community. Previously, we found that archaeal DNA-positive infectious microvesicles (iMVs) were detected in vulnerable plaques and in the sera of Chagas disease patients with heart failure.
