MicF: an antisense RNA gene involved in response of Escherichia coli to global stress factors.
Journal of molecular biology - 12 Oct 2001
Delihas N, Forst S
Abstract excerpt
The micF gene is a stress response gene found in Escherichia coli and related bacteria that post-transcriptionally controls expression of the outer membrane porin gene ompF. The micF gene encodes a non-translated 93 nt antisense RNA that binds its target ompF mRNA and regulates ompF expression by inhibiting translation and inducing degradation of the message. In addition, other factors, such as the RNA chaperone...
