VirF-independent regulation of Shigella virB transcription is mediated by the small RNA RyhB.

Infection of the human host by Shigella species requires the coordinated production of specific Shigella virulence factors, a process mediated largely by the VirF/VirB regulatory cascade. VirF promotes the transcription of virB, a gene encoding the transcriptional activator of several virulence-asso...
