Bacteria; Pseudomonadota; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia
Also known as
ECK0671
Summary
Fur translation in coupled to the translation of the upstream leader pepidie Uof; Uof translation is inhibited by the antisense sRNA ryhB; Uof translation opens up a hairpin that blocks Fur translation (Vecerek, 2007). [More information is available at EcoGene: EG10359].
