Small RNAs are ubiquitously present regulators in all kingdoms of life. Most bacterial and
archaeal small RNAs (sRNAs) act by antisense mechanisms on multiple target mRNAs …

Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) act as post-transcriptional regulators controlling bacterial
adaptation to environmental changes. Our current understanding of the mechanisms …

Post-transcriptional regulation is a very important mechanism to control gene expression in
changing environments. In the past decade, a lot of interest has been directed toward the …

Even though Bacillus subtilis is one of the most studied organisms, no function has been
identified for about 20% of its proteins. Among these unknown proteins are several RNA-and …

Bacteria have a remarkable ability to sense environmental changes, swiftly regulating their
transcriptional and posttranscriptional machinery as a response. Under conditions that …

Abstract Model organisms such as the Gram‐positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis have been
studied intensively for decades. However, even for model organisms, no function has been …

The gram-positive human pathogen Clostridioides difficile has emerged as the leading
cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. However, little is known about the bacterium's …

Astronauts are spending longer periods locked up in ships or stations for scientific and
exploration spatial missions. The International Space Station (ISS) has been inhabited …

CsrA is a widely conserved, abundant small RNA binding protein that has been found in E.
coli and other Gram-negative bacteria where it is involved in the regulation of carbon …

Much of our current knowledge about cellular RNA–protein complexes in bacteria is derived
from analyses in gram-negative model organisms, with the discovery of RNA-binding …
