New aspects of RNA-based regulation by Hfq and its partner sRNAs

Abstract

Hfq, an RNA chaperone, promotes the pairing of small RNAs (sRNAs) to target mRNAs, mediating post-transcriptional regulation of mRNA stability and translation. This regulation contributes to bacterial adaptation during stress and pathogenesis. Recent advances in sequencing techniques demonstrate the presence of sRNAs encoded not only in intergenic regions but also from the 3’ and 5’ UTRs of mRNAs, expanding sRNA regulatory networks. Additional layers of regulation by Hfq and its associated RNAs continue to be found. Newly identified RNA sponges modulate the activity of some sRNAs. A subset of sRNAs are proving to be bifunctional, able to pair with targets and also encoding small ORFs or binding other RNA binding proteins, such as CsrA. In addition, there are accumulating examples of Hfq inhibiting mRNA translation in the absence of sRNAs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
