Discovery and functional analysis of small RNAs and RNA binding proteins originating from phage KU Leuven
In recent years, evidence is mounting that small RNAs (sRNA) play an important regulatory role in eukaryotes as well as in bacteria. In model pathogens like Escherichia coli and Salmonella, these regulatory molecules can impact every stage of transcription and translation by base-pairing to their target. In the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa small RNAs have been shown to be involved in iron acquisition, quorum-sensing, carbon ...
