The RNA binding protein Hfq interacts specifically with tRNAs.

RNA (New York, N.Y.) - 1 Mar 2008

Lee Taewoo, Feig Andrew L

Abstract excerpt

Hfq is an RNA binding protein that has been studied extensively for its role in the biology of small noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in bacteria, where it facilitates post-transcriptional gene regulation during stress responses. We show that Hfq also binds with high specificity and nanomolar affinity to tRNAs despite their lack of a canonical A/U rich single-stranded sequence. This affinity is comparable to that of Hfq...
