The RNA-binding protein Hfq of Listeria monocytogenes: role in stress tolerance and virulence.

abstract：:From Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli, we have isolated by two independent methods genes involved in peroxide detoxification (ahpC and ahpF), a gene involved in peroxide sensing and transcription regulation (oxyR), and a gene of unknown function (orfX). Amino acid sequence analysis of AhpC, AhpF, and OxyR showed hi...
