A highly conserved sRNA downregulates multiple genes, including a σ <sup>54</sup> transcriptional activator, in the virulence mode of <i>Bordetella pertussis</i>
2024-11-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Bacterial sRNAs together with the RNA chaperone Hfq post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression by affecting ribosome binding or mRNA stability. In the human pathogen Bordetella pertussis , the causative agent of whooping cough, hundreds of sRNAs have been identified, but their roles in B. pertussis biology are mostly unknown. Here we characterize a Hfq-dependent sRNA (S17), whose level is...
