Abstract

Small RNAs are important for post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, affecting stability and activity of their target mRNAs. The bacterial Sm-like protein Hfq is required to promote pairing between both RNAs when their sequence complementarity is limited. To provide a first global view on the post-transcriptional landscape of the alpha-proteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus, we have identified the Hfq-binding RNAs employing High-throughput sequencing of RNA isolated by cross-linking immunoprecipitation (HITS-CLIP). A total of 261 RNAs, including 3 unannotated RNAs, were successfully identified and classified according to putative function. Moreover, possible interactions between the identified sRNAs with mRNA targets were postulated through computational target predictions. (AU)
