Abstract

Faigenbaum-Romm et al. analyze data of sRNA-target pairs and transcriptome measurements, revealing that only a subset of targets shows expression changes under overexpression of the sRNA. Analyzing various target features, they find that competition among targets over binding the chaperon Hfq plays a major role in the regulatory outcome.
