Abstract excerpt
GcvB is one of the most highly conserved Hfq-associated small RNAs in Gram-negative bacteria and was previously reported to repress several ABC transporters for amino acids. To determine the full extent of GcvB-mediated regulation in Salmonella, we combined a genome-wide experimental approach with biocomputational target prediction. Comparative pulse expression of wild-type versus mutant sRNA variants revealed...
