Translational Repression Is Sufficient for Gene Silencing by Bacterial Small Noncoding RNAs in the Absence of mRNA Destruction

Stress-induced Hfq-binding small RNAs of Escherichia coli, SgrS and RyhB, down-regulate the expression of target mRNAs through base-pairing. These small RNAs form ribonucleoprotein complexes with Hfq and RNase E. The regulatory outcomes of the RNase E/Hfq/small RNA-containing ribonucleoprotein compl...
