Abstract excerpt
A small noncoding bacterial ribonucleic acid of 62-64 nucleotides, RydC, was identified in the genomes of Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Shigella. In vivo, RydC binds to the RNA-binding protein Hfq, and it is unstable when Hfq is absent. Mobility assays reveal that complex formation between RydC and Hfq is specific, with an apparent binding constant of approximately 300 nm. Sequence alignments combined with...
