Hfq: A Multifaceted RNA Chaperone Involved in Virulence

18 Dec 2015

Abstract excerpt

Hfq has emerged in recent years as a master regulator of gene expression in bacteria, mainly due to its ability to mediate the interaction of small noncoding RNAs with their mRNA targets, including those related to virulence in Gram-negative bacteria. In this work, we review current knowledge on the involvement of Hfq in the regulation of virulence traits related to secretion systems, alternative sigma factors,...
