Bacterial cells contain several small RNAs (sRNAs) that are not translated. These stable,
abundant RNAs act by multiple mechanisms, such as RNA–RNA basepairing, RNA–protein …

Bacterial regulatory small RNAs act as crucial regulators in central carbon metabolism by
modulating translation initiation and degradation of target mRNAs in metabolic pathways …

Recent systematic genome searches revealed that bacteria encode a tremendous number
of small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs). Whereas most of these molecules remain of unknown …

An increasing number of RNAs have been recently shown to possess regulatory functions
similar to those of proteins. In bacteria, these regulatory RNAs are usually noncoding and …

Recent studies have uncovered dozens of regulatory small RNAs in bacteria. A large
number of these small RNAs act by pairingto their target mRNAs. The outcome of pairing …

Small RNA regulators (sRNAs) have been identified in a wide range of bacteria and found to
play critical regulatory roles in many processes. The major families of sRNAs include true …

Most bacterial pathogens have the remarkable ability to flourish in the external environment
and in specialized host niches. This ability requires their metabolism, physiology, and …

Background Biofilm development, specifically the fundamentally adaptive switch from acute
to chronic infection phenotypes, requires global regulators and small non-coding regulatory …

Small non-coding RNAs (sRNA) have emerged as important elements of gene regulatory
circuits. In enterobacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella many of these sRNAs …

The first step in the post-transcriptional regulatory function of most bacterial small non-
coding RNAs (sRNAs) is base pairing with partially complementary sequences of targeted …
