Most bacterial pathogens have the remarkable ability to flourish in the external environment
and in specialized host niches. This ability requires their metabolism, physiology, and …

In many γ‐proteobacteria, the conserved GacS/GacA (BarA/UvrY) two‐component system
positively controls the expression of one to five genes specifying small RNAs (sRNAs) that …

The sequence-specific RNA binding protein CsrA is employed by diverse bacteria in the
posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. Its binding interactions with RNA have …

One of the prokaryotic post‐transcriptional regulatory mechanisms involves the CsrA/RsmA
family of proteins that act by modulating translation initiation at target mRNAs. In this study …

Noncoding regulatory RNA molecules, also known as small RNAs, participate in several
bacterial regulatory networks. The central component of the carbon storage regulator (Csr) …

Extracellular polysaccharides are important components of biofilms. In non‐mucoid
Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, the Pel and Psl polysaccharides are major structural …

When confronted by disparate environments, microbes routinely alter their physiology to
tolerate or exploit local conditions. But some circumstances require more drastic remodelling …

Originally described as a repressor of gene expression in the stationary phase of growth,
CsrA (RsmA) regulates primary and secondary metabolic pathways, biofilm formation …

Post-transcriptional regulation is a very important mechanism to control gene expression in
changing environments. In the past decade, a lot of interest has been directed toward the …

The RNA‐binding protein CsrA represses biofilm formation, while the non‐coding RNAs
CsrB and CsrC activate this process by sequestering CsrA. We now provide evidence that …
