Ribosomal protein S1 is shown to interact with the non-coding RNA DsrA and with rpoS mRNA. DsrA is a non-coding RNA that is important in controlling expression of the rpoS gene product in Escherichia coli. Photochemical crosslinking, quadrupole-time of flight tandem mass spectrometry, and peptide sequencing have identified an interaction between DsrA and S1 in the 30S ribosomal subunit. Purified S1 binds both DsrA (K(obs) approximately 6 x 10(6) M(-1)) and rpoS mRNA (K(obs) approximately 3 x 10(7) M(-1)). Ribonuclease probing experiments indicate that S1 binding has a weak but detectable effect on the secondary structure of DsrA or rpoS mRNA.

In , the Lyme disease pathogen, differential gene expression is primarily controlled by the alternative sigma factor RpoS (σ). Understanding how RpoS levels are regulated is crucial for elucidating how is maintained throughout its enzootic cycle. Our recent studies have shown that a homolog of Fur/PerR repressor/activator, BosR, functions as an RNA-binding protein that controls the mRNA stability.

Although RNA structures play important roles in regulating gene expression, the mechanism and function of mRNA folding in plant bacterial pathogens remain elusive. Therefore, we perform dimethyl sulfate sequencing (DMS-seq) on the Pseudomonas syringae under nutrition-rich and -deficient conditions, revealing that the mRNA structure changes substantially in the minimal medium (MM) that tunes global translation efficiency (TE), thereby inducing virulence. This process is led by the increased expression of hfq, which is directly activated by transcription regulators RpoS and CysB.

ArcZ is a small regulatory RNA conserved in It is an Hfq-dependent RNA that is cleaved by RNase E in a processed form of 55-60 nucleotides. This processed form is highly conserved for controlling the expression of target mRNAs. ArcZ expression is induced by abundant oxygen levels and reaches its peak during the stationary growth phase.
