An upstream Hfq binding site in the fhlA mRNA leader region facilitates the OxyS-fhlA interaction.

To survive, bacteria must be able to adapt to environmental stresses. Small regulatory RNAs have been implicated as intermediates in a variety of stress-response pathways allowing dynamic gene regulation. The RNA binding protein Hfq facilitates this process in many cases, helping sRNAs base pair wit...
