Table 5. Effects of MsmR on transcript levels for the cpa 5′-untranslated region in Alab49, as determined by qRT-PCR.

	Transcript abundance in Alab49 ΔmsmR, relative to wt Alab49 *		Transcript abundance in Alab49 rofA::aad9 ΔmsmR, relative to Alab49 rofA::aad9
Growth phase	UP-3	UP-4	UP-3	UP-4
mid log	4.22±1.93	2.24±0.62	0.47±0.33	0.54±0.25

^*Each value is based on 3 different RNA preparations. Ratios <0.5-fold or >2-fold are highlighted in bold.
