The Power Duo: How the Interplay Between Nucleoid-Associated Proteins and Small Noncoding RNAs Orchestrates the Cellular Regulatory Symphony. [PDF]
Mol MicrobiolNucleoid‐associated proteins play a crucial role in the compaction of bacterial DNA and the regulation of gene expression. The emergence of small noncoding RNAs as regulatory elements in these processes represents a major development in our understanding of bacterial biology.

The RNA Chaperone Hfq Is Involved in Colony Morphology, Nutrient Utilization and Oxidative and Envelope Stress Response in Vibrio alginolyticus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Hfq is a global regulator that is involved in environmental adaptation of bacteria and in pathogenicity. To gain insight into the role of Hfq in Vibrio alginolyticus, an hfq deletion mutant was constructed in V.

The RNA chaperone Hfq is involved in stress tolerance and virulence in uropathogenic Proteus mirabilis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Hfq is a bacterial RNA chaperone involved in the riboregulation of diverse genes via small noncoding RNAs. Here, we show that Hfq is critical for the uropathogenic Proteus mirabilis to effectively colonize the bladder and kidneys in a murine urinary ...

The RNA chaperone Hfq impacts growth, metabolism and production of virulence factors in Yersinia enterocolitica. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 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.

444 Post-translational role of RNA modifications in sRNA chaperone Hfq
Journal of Clinical and Translational Science, 2022 OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The goal of this study is to determine the role of the tRNA modifications in the translation of Hfq. Hfq is an RNA chaperone that acts as a co-factor for the action of the largest class of small RNAs in E. coli.

Hfq is a global regulator that controls the pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The Hfq protein is reported to be an RNA chaperone, which is involved in the stress response and the virulence of several pathogens. In E. coli, Hfq can mediate the interaction between some sRNAs and their target mRNAs.

Profound impact of Hfq on nutrient acquisition, metabolism and motility in the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 As matchmaker between mRNA and sRNA interactions, the RNA chaperone Hfq plays a key role in riboregulation of many bacteria. Often, the global influence of Hfq on the transcriptome is reflected by substantially altered proteomes and pleiotropic ...
