  The authors provide solid data on a functional investigation of potential nucleoid-associated proteins and the modulation of chromosomal conformation in a model cyanobacterium. These valuable findings will be of interest to the chromosome and microbiology fields. Additional analysis and the tempering of conclusions has helped to improve the work, although further refinement remains possible.

  eLife assessment

  This fundamental study advances our understanding of the role of bacterial-derived extracellular ATP in the pathogenesis of sepsis. The evidence supporting the conclusions is compelling, although not all concerns from a previous round of reviews were adequately addressed. The work will be of broad interest to researchers on microbiology and infectious diseases.
