It is well established that small noncoding RNAs (sRNAs) of bacteria recognize the 5â?? regions of target mRNAs, generally at the ribosome binding site. Until now, the translated coding sequence (CDS) of mRNA appeared to be refractory to sRNA interactions. We have discovered that Salmonella MicC RNA...

SgrS RNA is a model for the large class of Hfq-associated small RNAs that act to post-transcriptionally regulate bacterial mRNAs. The function of SgrS is well-characterized in non-pathogenic Escherichia coli where it was originally shown to counteract glucose-phosphate stress by acting as a represso...

The small RNAs associated with protein Hfq constitute one of the largest classes of post-transcriptional regulators known to date. Most previously investigated members of this class are encoded by conserved free-standing genes. Here, deep sequencing of Hfq-bound transcripts from multiple stages of g...

MicF is a textbook example of a small regulatory RNA (sRNA) that acts on a trans-encoded target mRNA through imperfect base paring. The discovery of MicF as a post-transcriptional repressor of the major Escherichia coli porin OmpF established the paradigm for a meanwhile common mechanism of translat...

Small RNAs use a diversity of well-characterized mechanisms to repress mRNAs, but how they activate gene expression at the mRNA level remains not well understood. The predominant activation mechanism of Hfq-associated small RNAs has been translational control whereby base-pairing with the target pre...

The small RNA, ArcZ (previously RyhA/SraH), was discovered in several genome-wide screens in Escherichia coli and Salmonella. Its high degree of genomic conservation, its frequent recovery by shotgun sequencing, and its association with the RNA chaperone, Hfq, identified ArcZ as an abundant enteroba...

We used high-throughput methods to discover the Salmonella RNAs that are targeted by the bacterial Sm-like protein, Hfq. Our generic approach, using chromosomal epitope tagging and coIP-on-chip will also be useful to identify the post-transcriptional regulons of many other RNA-binding proteins. Key...
