Expanding control in bacteria: interplay between small RNAs and transcriptional regulators to control gene expression

Highlights ► Bacterial sRNAs are highly regulated by transcription factors or sigma factors. ► Transcriptional regulators themselves constitute a major class of sRNA targets. ► sRNAs often feedback-regulate the activity of transcription factors. ► Transcription factor-sRNA pairs may add unique motif...

Description
Summary:Highlights ► Bacterial sRNAs are highly regulated by transcription factors or sigma factors. ► Transcriptional regulators themselves constitute a major class of sRNA targets. ► sRNAs often feedback-regulate the activity of transcription factors. ► Transcription factor-sRNA pairs may add unique motifs to regulatory networks.
