TonB-dependent transporters (TBDTs) are bacterial outer membrane proteins that bind and
transport ferric chelates, called siderophores, as well as vitamin B12, nickel complexes, and …

Bacteria possess numerous and diverse means of gene regulation using RNA molecules,
including mRNA leaders that affect expression in cis, small RNAs that bind to proteins or …

The molecular roles of many RNA‐binding proteins in bacterial post‐transcriptional gene
regulation are not well understood. Approaches combining in vivo UV crosslinking with RNA …

Genome sequencing of Helicobacter pylori has revealed the potential proteins and genetic
diversity of this prevalent human pathogen, yet little is known about its transcriptional …

CopraRNA (Comparative prediction algorithm for small RNA targets) is the most recent asset
to the Freiburg RNA Tools webserver. It incorporates and extends the functionality of the …

Small proteins consisting of 50 or fewer amino acids have been identified as regulators of
larger proteins in bacteria and eukaryotes. Despite the importance of these molecules, the …

Motivation: During the last few years, several new small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) have
been discovered in bacteria. Most of them act as post-transcriptional regulators by base …

Recent advances in high-throughput pyrosequencing (HTPS) technology now allow a
thorough analysis of RNA bound to cellular proteins, and, therefore, of post-transcriptional …

Clostridium difficile is an emergent pathogen, and the most common cause of nosocomial
diarrhea. In an effort to understand the role of small noncoding RNAs (sRNAs) in C. difficile …

Small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) are an emerging class of regulators of bacterial gene
expression. Most of the regulatory Escherichia coli sRNAs known to date modulate …
