Figure 4: Hfq Regulation in the absence of sRNAs.

Figure 4:

Hfq is able to bind RNA to repress mRNA translation. In some cases, this binding is close to or at the ribosome binding site, directly blocking ribosome access [47]. In at least one other case, binding is upstream of the ribosome binding site but leads to remodeling of the RNA to block ribosome access [48].
