The paper shows that ProQ and FinO discriminate RNA based on sequence elements around terminator hairpins, with purine-purine mismatches reducing ProQNTD binding.

This study identifies key RNA-binding residues in E. coli ProQ's FinO domain through genetic and biochemical assays, revealing conserved and variable residues involved in RNA interactions.

This study identifies RNA sequence determinants recognized by the FinO domain of E. coli ProQ, showing specificity for Rho-independent terminators and interactions with Hfq.
