Abstract excerpt
The gcvB gene encodes two small, nontranslated RNAs that regulate OppA and DppA, periplasmic binding proteins for the oligopeptide and dipeptide transport systems. Analysis of the gcvB sequence identified a region of complementarity near the ribosome-binding sites of dppA and oppA mRNAs. Several changes in gcvB predicted to reduce complementarity of GcvB with dppA-lacZ and oppA-phoA reduced the ability of GcvB to...
