Figure 5From: Expression profiling reveals Spot 42 small RNA as a key regulator in the central metabolism of Aliivibrio salmonicidaA model for Spot 42 regulation in A. salmonicida. The model is based on microarray and Northern blot analyses from this study, which suggest that Spot 42 downregulates Pirin (key regulator of puruvat dehydrogenase complex in central metabolism), genes for uptake/catabolism of less preferred sugars in a carbon catabolite repression (CRR)-like manner, and genes involved in motility and chemotaxis. The results also suggest that Spot 42 activates expression of other ncRNAs (e.g., the sRNA RyhB).Back to article page
