Identification of protein-protein and ribonucleoprotein complexes containing Hfq

Abstract Hfq is a RNA-binding protein that plays a pivotal role in the control of gene expression in bacteria by stabilizing sRNAs and facilitating their pairing with multiple target mRNAs. It has already been shown that Hfq, directly or indirectly, interacts with many proteins: RNase E, Rho, poly(A...
