Gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria use a variety of enzymatic pathways to degrade
mRNAs. Although several recent reviews have outlined these pathways, much less attention …

Bacteria adjust gene expression at the post-transcriptional level through an intricate network
of small regulatory RNAs and RNA-binding proteins, including ribonucleases (RNases) …

Changing mRNA stability is a major post-transcriptional way of controlling gene expression,
particularly in newly encountered conditions. As the concentration of mRNA is the result of …

The phenotypic adjustments of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are commonly inferred from the
analysis of transcript abundance. While mechanisms of transcriptional regulation have been …

Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) is an ancient exoribonuclease conserved in the
course of evolution and is found in species as diverse as bacteria and humans …

All living organisms, including the Gram‐negative bacteria, have two major classes of RNA
molecules. mRNAs contain the information for the synthesis of the various proteins that are …

The bacterial endoribonuclease RNase E occupies a pivotal position in the control of gene
expression, as its actions either commit transcripts to an irreversible fate of rapid destruction …

In diverse bacterial species, the global regulator Hfq contributes to post-transcriptional
networks that control expression of numerous genes. Hfq of the opportunistic pathogen …

Almost 60 years ago, Severo Ochoa was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or
Medicine for his discovery of the enzymatic synthesis of RNA by polynucleotide …

Small noncoding RNAs (sRNAs) from mRNA 3′ UTRs seem to present a previously
unrecognized layer of bacterial post-transcriptional control whereby mRNAs influence each …
