Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jul 2007

Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli cell viability during starvation is strongly dependent on the expression of the rpoS gene, encoding the RpoS sigma subunit of RNA polymerase. RpoS abundance has been reported to be regulated at many levels, including transcription initiation, translation, and protein stability. The regulatory RNA SsrA (or tmRNA) has both tRNA and mRNA activities, relieving ribosome stalling and cotranslationally...
