Abstract excerpt
The RNA-binding protein Hfq has been studied extensively for its function as a modulator of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. While most Hfq studies have focused on the protein's interaction with sRNAs and mRNAs, Hfq binding to DNA has been observed but is less explored. During the isolation of Hfq from Escherichiacoli, we found genomic DNA fragments associated with the protein after multiple...
