Paper of the month: April 2015
- In a groundbreaking study from 2004, several candidate riboswitches have been discovered in Bacillus subtilis. While the ydaO riboswitch has recently been discovered to be a target of the second messenger c-di-AMP, two new studies identify manganese ions as the ligand of the yybP-ykoY motif that controls the expression of the yybP and ykoY genes. Both genes are induced in the presence of Mn2+, due to the interaction of the ion with the riboswitch. This finding implies that YybP and YkoY, which have not yet been functionally studied, are implicated in the control of manganese homeostasis.

News in SubtiWiki:
- August 2014: The first mobile application for SubtiWiki is now available for users of Android phones: Go for SubtiWiki in Google Play! IPhone users, please be patient! You will be served next! Click here to install!
- April 2013: SubtiWiki uses a new, faster Mediawiki platform! The times for page access are significantly reduced. Enjoy!
- March 2013: updated Excel files that map all genes to categories and regulons as well as the general updated identity mapping of all genes were uploaded.
- October 2012: the essential genes have been categorized
- September 2012: 300 mutant strains available at the BGSC were added to the corresponding gene pages
- August 2012: SubtiExpress, the new compagnon of SubtiWiki devoted to gene expression is online! Try it out!
- April 2012: Links for expression data under 104 different conditions (based on Nicolas et al., 2012) have been added to the expression section of the individual gene pages
- April 2011: SubtInteract, a presentation of protein-protein interactions in B. subtilis, is online!
- December 2010: SubtiCellPublisher allows the conversion of CellDesigner diagrams to navigatable presentations in the style of SubtiPathways
