The role of Hfq in bacterial pathogens
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2010The ubiquitous RNA-binding protein, Hfq, has been shown to be required for the fitness and virulence of an increasing number of bacterial pathogens. Mutants lacking Hfq are often sensitive to host defense mechanisms and highly attenuated in animal models, albeit there is considerable variation in both severity and extent of phenotypes. RNomics and deep

Supramolecular organization of Hfq-like proteins [PDF]
Bacterial Hfq proteins are structural homologs of archaeal and eukaryotic Sm/Lsm proteins, which are characterized by a 5-stranded β-sheet and an N-terminal α-helix. Previously, it was shown that archaeal Lsm proteins (SmAP) could produce long fibrils spontaneously, in contrast to the Hfq from Escherichia coli that could form similar fibrils only after

Structure ofPseudomonas aeruginosaHfq protein
Acta Crystallographica Section D Biological Crystallography, 2005The structure of the Hfq protein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was determined using two different ionic conditions. In both cases the molecules formed identical hexameric rings, but some variations in the crystal packing were revealed. Hfq belongs to the family of Sm/LSm proteins, the members of which can form hexameric as well as heptameric rings ...

Hfq structure, function and ligand binding
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2007Recent studies on Hfq have provided a deeper understanding of the multiple functions of this pleiotropic post-transcriptional regulator. Insights into the mechanism of Hfq action have come from a variety of approaches. A key finding was the characterization of two RNA binding sites: the Proximal Site, which binds sRNA and mRNA; and the Distal Site ...

Lack of interchangeability of Hfq-like proteins
Biochimie, 2012Hfq is an RNA-binding protein that participates in the regulatory activity of small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) in many species of bacteria. Hfq protein was first crystallized from Staphylococcus aureus and this crystal structure constitutes a hallmark for bacterial Sm-like proteins. Paradoxically, however, the functional relevance/role of S.

Bacterial Small Regulatory RNAs and Hfq Protein
Biochemistry (Moscow), 2015Small regulatory RNA (sRNA) is a unique noncoding RNA involved in regulation of gene expression in both eukaryotic and bacterial cells. This short review discusses examples of positive and negative translation regulation by sRNAs in bacteria and participation of Hfq in these processes. The importance of structure investigation of nucleotide-protein and

RNA Chaperones Step Out of Hfq’s Shadow
Trends in Microbiology, 2017The stability and function of regulatory small RNAs (sRNAs) often require a specialized RNA-binding protein called an RNA chaperone. Recent findings show that proteins containing a ProQ/FinO domain constitute a new class of RNA chaperones that could play key roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation throughout bacterial species.
