The RNA chaperone Hfq impacts growth, metabolism and production of virulence factors in Yersinia enterocolitica.

To adapt to changes in environmental conditions, bacteria regulate their gene expression at the transcriptional but also at the post-transcriptional level, e.g. by small RNAs (sRNAs) which modulate mRNA stability and translation. The conserved RNA chaperone Hfq mediates the interaction of many sRNAs...
