Where this comes from

Abstract

Bacterial-derived metabolites profoundly influence the host's cellular and organismal physiology. Seth et al. (2019) report that via interspecies S-nitrosylation, microbiota-derived nitric oxide directly alters the host's Argonaute family protein activity, and consequently impinges on the overall post-transcriptional gene silencing program through the microRNA (miRNA) machinery.
