Virulence Regulation and Lifestyle Transitions: The Role of c‐di‐GMP and Two‐Component Systems in Erwinia amylovora and Their Evolutionary Context Within Enterobacterales

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Erwinia amylovora infects apple blossoms by activating the T3SS, then spreads systemically via amylovoran‐mediated biofilms. Transitions between motile and sessile states are regulated by key two‐component systems and c‐di‐GMP. This review summarises infection biology, virulence factors, regulatory networks and evolutionary insights underlying fire ...

Hfq proximity and orientation controls RNA annealing [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2012
Regulation of bacterial gene networks by small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) requires base pairing with messenger RNA (mRNA) targets, which is facilitated by Hfq protein. Hfq is recruited to sRNAs and mRNAs through U-rich- and A-rich-binding sites, respectively, but their distance from the sRNA-mRNA complementary region varies widely among different genes ...

Dual‐Pathway Defense: Ultramicro‐Pulverised Powder of Polygonum chinense L. and Atractylodes rhizome (PAUP) Rescues Broilers From E. coli‐Triggered Liver Injury Through Modulation of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Reduced Antibiotic residues and resistance concerns: Offers a potential natural alternative to antibiotics for combating E. coli infections in poultry. Provided safer poultry food products: By enhancing liver function, restoring weight gain, and improving feed efficiency, PAUP supports the production of healthier chickens, ultimately contributing to ...

Hfq affects mRNA levels independently of degradation [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Molecular Biology, 2010
Abstract Background The bacterial Lsm protein, Hfq, is an RNA chaperone involved in many reactions related to RNA metabolism, such as replication and stability, control of small RNA activity and polyadenylation. Despite this wide spectrum of known functions, the global role of Hfq is almost certainly undervalued; its ...

The RNA Chaperone Hfq Is Involved in Colony Morphology, Nutrient Utilization and Oxidative and Envelope Stress Response in Vibrio alginolyticus. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Repression of catabolic genes by Hfq.

open access: yes, 2014
(A–C) The strains were grown to an OD600 of 2.0 in BSM medium supplemented with (A) 40 mM succinate and 40 mM acetamide (to establish CCR and to induce amiE::lacZ transcription) or (B, C) only with 40 mM succinate (CCR).

From Powder to Pathogen: A Systematic Review of Detection, Pathogenicity, and Mitigation of Cronobacter sakazakii in Infant Formula

open access: yesInternational Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Cronobacter sakazakii is an emerging foodborne pathogen that has gained increasing global attention due to its association with severe infections in neonates, particularly meningitis, sepsis, and necrotizing enterocolitis. These infections are often associated with contaminated powdered infant formula (PIF), a nonsterile but commonly used alternative ...

Hfq Is Necessary for Regulation by the Untranslated RNA DsrA [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 2001
ABSTRACTDsrA is an 85-nucleotide, untranslated RNA that has multiple regulatory activities at 30°C. These activities include the translational regulation of RpoS and H-NS, global transcriptional regulators inEscherichia coli. Hfq is anE. coliprotein necessary for the in vitro and in vivo replication of the RNA phage Qβ.

Deletion of the small RNA chaperone protein Hfq down regulates genes related to virulence and confers protection against wild-type Brucella challenge in mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic epidemics worldwide. Brucella, the etiological pathogen of brucellosis, has unique virulence characteristics, including the ability to survive within the host cell.

A Small RNA Derived From the 5′ End of the IS200 tnpA Transcript Regulates Multiple Virulence Regulons in Salmonella typhimurium

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, Volume 124, Issue 5, Page 413-432, November 2025.
We show deletion of an IS200‐encoded sRNA (5′tnpA) in Salmonella impacts the expression of SPI‐1, flagellar, cysteine, and phsABC regulons. Evidence is presented that, with regard to the SPI‐1 regulon, 5′tnpA may function through base pairing with another sRNA known to regulate SPI1 called PinT.
