Phage-encoded sRNA counteracts xenogenic silencing in pathogenic <i>E. coli</i>

2025-11-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Horizontal gene transfer introduces foreign DNA that can disrupt cellular processes and is therefore subject to xenogenic silencing by nucleoid-associated proteins such as H-NS and Hha. In Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), prophages make up a large fraction of the accessory genome and encode many virulence factors, yet to be expressed they must overcome this silencing. We identify a p...
