Paper of the month: January 2014

• The expression of ribosomal proteins is often subject to feedback regulation by the binding of ribosomal proteins to their mRNA leaders. A new study by Fu et al. demonstrate that a heterodimer of RpsF and RpsR binds a structure in the mRNA leader of the rpsF-ssbA-rpsR operon and suggests autoregulation
• Relevant SubtiWiki pages: ribosomal proteins, RpsF, RpsR
