The continuous degradation and synthesis of prokaryotic mRNAs not only give rise to the
metabolic changes that are required as cells grow and divide but also rapid adaptation to …

Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression plays important roles in diverse cellular
processes such as development, metabolism and cancer progression. Whereas many …

Small RNA molecules play key regulatory roles in many bacterial species. However, little
mechanistic data exists for the action of small regulatory RNAs in the human pathogen …

A set of shuttle plasmids containing four different constitutive promoters was generated to
facilitate overexpression of foreign and native genes in streptococci, such as Streptococcus …

The ecologically important cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus possesses the smallest
