Certain bacteria are able to conserve energy via the reductive dehalogenation of halo‐
organic compounds in a respiration‐type metabolism. The transcriptional regulator CprK …

Bacteria selectively consume some carbon sources over others through a regulatory
mechanism termed catabolite repression. Here, we show that the base-pairing RNA Spot 42 …

Hfq is a global regulator of gene expression in bacteria undergoing adaptation to changing
environmental conditions. Its major function is to promote RNA-RNA interactions between …

Small non‐coding RNAs (sRNA) are emerging as key elements of post‐transcriptional gene
regulation in bacteria. The conserved Hfq protein is thought to function as an RNA …

The bacterial Sm-like protein, Hfq, is a key factor for the stability and function of small
noncoding RNAs (sRNAs) in E. coli. Homologues of this protein have been predicted in …

The soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida is capable of degrading many aromatic
compounds, including benzoate, through catechol as an intermediate. The catabolism of …

Expression of the α-amylase gene (amyE) of Bacillus subtilis is subject to CcpA (catabolite
control protein A)-mediated catabolite repression, a global regulatory mechanism in Bacillus …

Hfq proteins are common in many species of enterobacteria, where they participate in RNA
folding and translational regulation through pairing of small RNAs and messenger RNAs …

The Bacillus subtilis catabolite control protein A (CcpA) is a global transcriptional regulator
that is controlled by interactions with the phosphoproteins histidine‐containing protein (HPr) …

A large group of bacterial small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) use the Hfq chaperone to mediate
pairing with and regulation of mRNAs. Recent findings help to clarify how Hfq acts and …
