An RNA sponge controls quorum sensing dynamics and biofilm formation in Vibrio cholerae

Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) often act in concert with the RNA-chaperone Hfq to regulate the expression of multiple target transcripts in bacteria. Here, the authors identify Hfq-interacting sRNAs and their targets in the pathogen Vibrio cholerae, including an RNA sponge that binds and inactivates...

description Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) often act in concert with the RNA-chaperone Hfq to regulate the expression of multiple target transcripts in bacteria. Here, the authors identify Hfq-interacting sRNAs and their targets in the pathogen Vibrio cholerae, including an RNA sponge that binds and inactivates four sRNAs that modulate the quorum sensing pathway.
