The core and accessory Hfq interactomes across Pseudomonas aeruginosa lineages

Abstract

Protein Hfq regulates bacterial mRNA translation and stability by interacting with mRNAs and small noncoding RNAs. Here, the authors identify Hfq-interacting RNAs in three strains representing major phylogenetic lineages of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, highlighting intra-species diversity in post-transcriptional regulatory networks.
