The last few decades have led to an explosion in our understanding of the major roles that
small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) play in regulatory circuits and the responses to stress in …

Small RNAs are ubiquitously present regulators in all kingdoms of life. Most bacterial and
archaeal small RNAs (sRNAs) act by antisense mechanisms on multiple target mRNAs …

Over the past two decades, small noncoding RNAs (sRNAs) that regulate mRNAs by short
base pairing have gone from a curiosity to a major class of post-transcriptional regulators in …

Small proteins consisting of 50 or fewer amino acids have been identified as regulators of
larger proteins in bacteria and eukaryotes. Despite the importance of these molecules, the …

Quorum-sensing bacteria communicate with extracellular signal molecules called
autoinducers. This process allows community-wide synchronization of gene expression. A …

The small RNAs associated with the protein Hfq constitute one of the largest classes of post‐
transcriptional regulators known to date. Most previously investigated members of this class …

Bacterial proteins of≤ 50 amino acids, denoted small proteins or microproteins, have been
traditionally understudied and overlooked, as standard computational, biochemical, and …

Small RNAs (sRNAs) in bacteria have evolved with diverse mechanisms to balance their
target gene expression in response to changes in the environment. Accumulating studies on …

Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) act as post-transcriptional regulators controlling bacterial
adaptation to environmental changes. Our current understanding of the mechanisms …

Recent advances in high-throughput pyrosequencing (HTPS) technology now allow a
thorough analysis of RNA bound to cellular proteins, and, therefore, of post-transcriptional …
