Dynamic interactions between the RNA chaperone Hfq, small regulatory RNAs and mRNAs in live bacterial cells

Abstract: Hfq binds broadly to cellular mRNAs and sRNAs [13][14][15] , in line with its main biological 51 functions. Hfq can bind RNAs through multiple interfaces of its homohexameric structure. The 52 surface containing the N-terminal α-helices is referred as the "proximal face" of the Hfq hexamer, 53whereas the opposite surface is referred as the "distal face", and the outer ring as the "rim" (Figure 54 1a). The proximal face binds preferably U-rich sequences, and the distal face prefers A-rich 55 sequences, with th… Show more

“…As shown in Fig. 3A and 3B, in bacteria at N+ and N-, the D* values of Hfq molecules were largely similar (though we note that our D* values were ~6-fold lower than those measured by Persson et al (28) with Dendra2tagged Hfq in exponentially growing E. coli in lysogeny broth, our measurements are largely consistent with those measured by Park et al (29) with mMaple3 tagged Hfq in E. coli growing in defined in minimal media). Of note, the graph in Fig.…”

“…the plasmid expression of the target mRNAs did not cause Hfq to become a limiting factor. In addition, a recent study reveals that sRNAs can effectively gain access to Hfq even if it is already occupied by mRNAs in vivo (Park et al, 2021), further arguing against Hfq becoming the limiting factor in our measurements.…”

“…Here, using single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), we confirmed the unbiased localization for endogenously expressed SgrS and RyhB (Figures 7B-7E). In addition, the chaperone protein, Hfq, was observed to diffuse freely into the nucleoid region (Park et al, 2021;Persson et al, 2013) and to bind to nascent transcripts (Kambara et al, 2018). It is likely that at least part of the Hfq binding to the nascent transcripts is mediated by sRNAs.…”

“…Here, using single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), we confirmed the unbiased localization for these two sRNAs under our experimental conditions (Figure 7). In addition, the chaperone protein, Hfq, was observed to diffuse freely into the nucleoid region using single-particle tracking ( 71 , 72 ) and to bind to the nascent transcripts in a recent study using Chip-seq ( 73 ). It is likely that at least part of the Hfq binding to the nascent transcripts is mediated by sRNAs.…”
