Journal ArticleDOI

Biofilm Formation and Dispersal under the Influence of the Global Regulator CsrA of Escherichia coli

TL;DR: It is established that the RNA binding global regulatory protein CsrA (carbon storage regulator) of Escherichia coli K-12 serves as both a repressor of biofilm formation and an activator ofBiofilm dispersal under a variety of culture conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel sRNA component of the carbon storage regulatory system of Escherichia coli.

TL;DR: Small untranslated RNAs (sRNAs) perform a variety of important functions in bacteria, and the discovery of CsrC is intriguing, in that a similar sRNA, CsrB, performs essentially the same function.
Journal ArticleDOI

CsrA post‐transcriptionally represses pgaABCD, responsible for synthesis of a biofilm polysaccharide adhesin of Escherichia coli

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the pgaABCD transcript, required for the synthesis of the polysaccharide adhesin PGA of Escherichia coli, is the key target of biofilm regulation by CsrA.
Journal ArticleDOI

CsrA regulates glycogen biosynthesis by preventing translation of glgC in Escherichia coli.

TL;DR: It is established that bound CsrA inhibits initiation of glgC translation, thereby reducing glycogen biosynthesis, and probably contributes to destabilization of theglgC transcript that was observed previously.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulatory Circuitry of the CsrA/CsrB and BarA/UvrY Systems of Escherichia coli

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that uvrY resides downstream from csrA in a signaling pathway for csrB and that CsrA stimulates UvrY-dependent activation of cSRB expression by BarA-dependent and -independent mechanisms.
