Abstract

Many bacteria move in their environment using a remarkable, rotating nanomachine - the flagellum. In a recent publication, Choi et al. report a new addition to the group of flagellar regulators, a trans-acting small RNA (sRNA).

Keywords: FljB flagellin; flagella biosynthesis; mgtCBR virulence locus; post-transcriptional regulation; trans-acting small RNA.
