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 …

Hfq, a bacterial RNA chaperone, stabilizes small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) and facilitates
sRNA base-pairing with target mRNAs. Hfq has a conserved N-terminal domain and a …

In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, insight into gene function is typically obtained by in
silico homology searches and/or phenotypic analyses of strains bearing mutations within …

Within the past 10 years, it has become increasingly evident that posttranscriptional
regulation is among the most important mechanisms used by bacteria to modulate gene …

The biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa highly increases the bacterial resistance
to antimicrobial agents and host immune clearance. The biofilm formation is positively …

In Brucella abortus, two small RNAs (sRNAs), AbcR1 and AbcR2, are responsible for
regulating transcripts encoding ABC-type transport systems. AbcR1 and AbcR2 are required …

Here, we show that a partner-switching system of the aquatic Proteobacterium Shewanella
oneidensis regulates post-translationally σ S (also called RpoS), the general stress …

Translational reprogramming is a key component of the bacterial stress response and is a
function of mRNA stability, protein turnover and proteolysis. Total proteome measurements …

Here, we show that a partner-switching system of the aquatic Proteobacterium Shewanella
oneidensis regulates posttranslationally σS (also called RpoS), the General Stress …

Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is a gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium
recognized as a major player in progression of periodontal disease. P. gingivalis survives in …
