Abstract excerpt
Small RNAs are integral regulators of bacterial gene expression, the majority of which act posttranscriptionally by basepairing with target mRNAs, altering translation or mRNA stability. 6S RNA, however, is a small RNA that is a transcriptional regulator, acting by binding directly to σ(70)-RNA polymerase (σ(70)-RNAP) and preventing its binding to gene promoters. At the transition from exponential to stationary...
