Hfq-Crc proteins form a stable ribonucleoprotein complex with CrcZ. Ribonucleoprotein complexes formed in the presence of the sRNA CrcZ and increasing concentrations of Hfq (0, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 and 1 µM) (a) or in the presence of both Crc and Hfq (b and c). In (d) Crc was substituted by 1 µM of bovine serum albumin (BSA). Crc and Hfq were added at the indicated concentrations (expressed as monomers and hexamers respectively). RNA and protein-RNA complexes were resolved in a non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel. The position of free RNA, and of the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes detected, is indicated.
