Figure 4.
Hfq stabilization of sRNAs. Abundances of sRNAs in wild-type E. coli relative to the amounts in an isogenic hfq-deleted strain (normalized to 1, black line). The intergenic location of each sRNA is indicated on the x-axis. For each sRNA tested, data represent the means of three experiments ± standard deviations. Statistically significant differences from expression in hfq-deleted strain are indicated by (***) p ≤ 0.001 and (**) p ≤ 0.01 (unpaired t-test).
