Small regulatory RNA (sRNAs) are key mediators of posttranscriptional gene control in
bacteria. Assisted by RNA-binding proteins, a single sRNA often modulates the expression …

The rampant use of antibiotics in animal husbandry, farming and clinical disease treatment
has led to a significant issue with pathogen resistance worldwide over the past decades …

Beyond their role in horizontal gene transfer, conjugative plasmids commonly encode
homologues of bacterial regulators. Known plasmid regulator homologues have highly …

In all domains of life, RNA chaperones safeguard and guide the fate of the cellular RNA
pool. RNA chaperones comprise structurally diverse proteins that ensure proper folding …

Abstract The ProQ/FinO family of RNA binding proteins mediate sRNA-directed gene
regulation throughout gram-negative bacteria. Here, we investigate the structural basis for …

Gene expression strategies ensuring bacterial survival and competitiveness rely on cis‐and
trans‐acting RNA‐regulators (riboregulators). Among the cis‐acting riboregulators are …

Bacterial small RNAs (sRNAs) are critical post-transcriptional regulators that exert broad
effects on cell physiology. One class of sRNAs, referred to as trans-acting sRNAs, base-pairs …

Gene regulation at the post-transcriptional level is prevalent in all domains of life. In bacteria,
ProQ-like proteins have emerged as important RNA chaperones facilitating RNA stability …

RNA-binding proteins are key actors of post-transcriptional networks. Almost exclusively
studied in the light of their interactions with RNA ligands and the associated functional …

The FinO-domain protein ProQ belongs to a widespread family of RNA-binding proteins
(RBPs) involved in gene regulation in bacterial chromosomes and mobile elements. While …
