Role of DEAD-box RNA helicases in low-temperature adapted growth of Antarctic Pseudomonas syringae Lz4W
Pseudomonas syringae possesses genes for all five major DEAD-box RNA helicases, rhlE, srmB, csdA, dbpA, and rhlB, that are found in γ-proteobacteria. Bioinformatic analysis of the RNA helicase genes provided detailed insights into their genomic organization, promoter characteristics, regulatory 3′ r...
