Regulation of multiple paralogs of a small subunit ribosomal protein in Francisella tularensis

Sierra S. Schmidt, Alexandra R. Farah, Aisling Macaraeg, Daniel Floyd, Hannah S. Trautmann, Kathryn M. Ramsey

This study identifies how F. tularensis regulates its bS21 paralogs, showing that bS21-2 is autogenously repressed and its mRNA stability is modulated, impacting virulence.
