This study determines the structures of Rcs phosphorelay components and describes how RcsF activates the system by modifying IgaA/RcsD interactions.

The paper uses RIL-seq to show that Hfq's rim face is critical for sRNA-mRNA pairing in vivo, while distal and proximal faces have less impact.

This study identifies RcsF-independent mechanisms of Rcs phosphorelay activation in enterobacteria, revealing distinct roles for DsbA, DjlA, and DrpB in signal transduction.
