Abstract excerpt
Noncoding small RNAs are involved in transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene regulation of target mRNAs by modulating mRNA elongation, stability, or translational efficiency. Many natural trans-encoded small RNAs contain a scaffold that allows binding of the RNA chaperone protein Hfq for conditional gene regulation. Here, we improved the gene regulation abilities of small RNAs by directly fusing the natural...
