Regulation and mode of action of the second small RNA activator of RpoS translation, RprA

Translation of the stationary phase sigma factor RpoS is stimulated by at least two small RNAs, DsrA and RprA. DsrA disrupts an inhibitory secondary structure in the rpoS leader mRNA by pairing with the upstream RNA. Mutations in rprA and compensating mutations in the rpoS leader demonstrate that Rp...
