High impact information on micA

  • Belongs to the σ E regulon [1]
  • Guide sRNA for Hfq-dependent ompA mRNA decay [2][3]
  • Deletion of sraD, however, does not significantly affect the stability of the ompA mRNA in slowly growing cells [3].
  • Binds the divergently transcribed luxS (prev. ygaG) mRNA and this complex is processed by the dsRNA-specific ribonuclease, RNase III . [Udekwu, Klas Ifeanyi (2007). Functional characterization of the small antisense RNA MicA in Escherichia coli.   (2009-01-02)]
