Abstract excerpt
Salmonella can hijack host atypical miRNA processing machinery to cleave its small non-coding RNA into a ~22-nt RNA fragment, Sal-1, which facilitates Salmonella survival in the infected host. The mechanism through which Sal-1 promotes Salmonella survival, however, remains unknown. In the present study, we reported that Sal-1 targets cellular inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in a miRNA manner, leading to...
