Article Synopsis
- Small RNAs (sRNAs) are short noncoding RNAs that play a key role in regulating cellular activities in bacteria, particularly during stress responses like starvation in Salmonella enterica.
- Researchers discovered 58 previously unknown sRNA genes in Salmonella Typhimurium that exhibit significant changes in expression during carbon starvation, indicating their potential role in the starvation-stress response.
- The study highlights that many of these sRNAs may interact with mRNAs to regulate gene expression, suggesting that the actual number of sRNAs in Salmonella could be much higher than previously recognized, potentially reaching into the thousands.
