A 6-Nucleotide Regulatory Motif within the AbcR Small RNAs of <italic toggle="yes">Brucella abortus</italic> Mediates Host-Pathogen Interactions

ABSTRACT In Brucella abortus, two small RNAs (sRNAs), AbcR1 and AbcR2, are responsible for regulating transcripts encoding ABC-type transport systems. AbcR1 and AbcR2 are required for Brucella virulence, as a double chromosomal deletion of both sRNAs results in attenuation in mice. Although these sR...
