Induction of expression of hfq by DksA is essential for Shigella flexneri virulence.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Oct 2006

Sharma Ashima K, Payne Shelley M

Abstract excerpt

Hfq plays an important role in cellular physiology by regulating the expression of several genes. Hfq synthesis in Escherichia coli is subject to auto-repression at translational level. Studies with Shigella flexneri show that hfq transcription is regulated by a pleiotropic regulator, DksA. Comparison of gene expression profiles of wild type and dksA mutant S. flexneri determined that hfq expression was reduced...
