Xylella fastidiosa ( Xf ) is a Gram‐negative bacterial plant pathogen responsible for severe diseases in a variety of economically important crops. A critical aspect of its virulence is the production of extracellular vesicles (EVs). In this study, we discovered that DNA‐binding proteins and nonribosomal…
Small RNAs (sRNAs) are non-coding RNAs, that often interact with messenger RNAs (mRNAs) to modulate gene expression. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are crucial for stabilizing these interactions. Advances in RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technologies have enabled the high-throughput characterization of RNA interaction…
Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) acting in concert with the RNA chaperone Hfq are prevalent in many bacteria and typically act by base-pairing with multiple target transcripts. In the human pathogen Vibrio cholerae , sRNAs play roles in various processes including antibiotic tolerance, competence, and quorum…
