The Escherichia coli GcvB sRNA Uses Genetic Redundancy to Control cycA Expression

Figure 4

(a) Effects of the 𝑔 𝑐 𝑣 𝐵 t 1 allele plus additional changes on cycA-lacZ expression. WT, ΔgcvB and Δhfq λcycA-lacZ lysogens transformed with the indicated plasmids were grown in LB (+Amp for transformants) to mid-log phase and assayed for β-galactosidase. (b) Northern analysis of GcvB. RNA was isolated from WT, ΔgcvB or ΔgcvB transformed with the indicated plasmids and probed with either a DIG-labeled GcvB or 5S rRNA specific DNA probe. Numbers above each lane indicate levels of GcvB relative to WT.
