Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Bacteria use multidrug efflux pumps to export drugs and toxic compounds out of the cell. One of the most important efflux pumps in Escherichia coli is the AcrAB-TolC system. Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are known to be major posttranscriptional regulators that can enhance or repress translation by binding to the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of mRNA targets with the help of a chaperone protein, Hfq....
