Abstract excerpt
Bacterial regulatory RNAs require the chaperone protein Hfq to enable their pairing to mRNAs. Recent data showed that there is a hierarchy among sRNAs in the competition for access to Hfq, which could be important for the tuning of sRNA-dependent translation regulation. Here, seven structurally different sRNAs were compared using filter-based competition assays. Moreover, chimeric sRNA constructs were designed to...
