RNA binding of Hfq monomers promotes RelA-mediated hexamerization in a limiting Hfq environment

RelA stimulates RyhB small RNA–target mRNA interaction by promoting assembly of Hfq monomers into hexamers. Here the authors show that RelA-mediated Hfq hexamerization requires an initial binding of RNA to Hfq monomers.
