This study identifies transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulators of RydC, an sRNA that modulates cyclopropane fatty acid synthase in E. coli, revealing a network linking membrane stress responses to environmental signals.

This study investigates how single base-pair changes affect the in vivo kinetics of sRNA-target interactions, showing that Hfq facilitates annealing and buffers base-pair disruptions.
