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 …

Particular bacterial strains in certain natural environments prevent infectious diseases of
plant roots. How these bacteria achieve this protection from pathogenic fungi has been …

The Rfam database (available at http://rfam. xfam. org) is a collection of non-coding RNA
families represented by manually curated sequence alignments, consensus secondary …

The molecular roles of many RNA‐binding proteins in bacterial post‐transcriptional gene
regulation are not well understood. Approaches combining in vivo UV crosslinking with RNA …

Pseudomonas spp. are ubiquitous bacteria in agricultural soils and have many traits that
make them well suited as biocontrol agents of soilborne pathogens. Tremendous progress …

In many γ‐proteobacteria, the conserved GacS/GacA (BarA/UvrY) two‐component system
positively controls the expression of one to five genes specifying small RNAs (sRNAs) that …

The sequence-specific RNA binding protein CsrA is employed by diverse bacteria in the
posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. Its binding interactions with RNA have …

Hfq is a small, highly abundant hexameric protein that is found in many bacteria and plays a
critical role in mRNA expression and RNA stability. As an “RNA chaperone,” Hfq binds AU …

Noncoding regulatory RNA molecules, also known as small RNAs, participate in several
bacterial regulatory networks. The central component of the carbon storage regulator (Csr) …

Extracellular polysaccharides are important components of biofilms. In non‐mucoid
Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, the Pel and Psl polysaccharides are major structural …
