Coding sequence targeting by MicC RNA reveals bacterial mRNA silencing downstream of translational initiation
Bacterial small RNAs are generally thought to repress mRNAs at the level of translational initiation by binding in the 5′ untranslated region. Salmonella typhimurium MicC is now shown to target the ompD mRNA codi...
