YsrH is a novelcis-encoded sRNA located on the opposite strand tofabH2, which is essential for fatty acid biosynthesis in bacteria. In this study, YsrH-mediated regulation offabH2expression was investigated inYersinia pseudotuberculosis. Constitutive and inducible over-expression of YsrH decreased the mRNA level offabH2, while expression of downstreamfabDandfabGremained unaffected. Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) also played an important role in this regulation process by mediating YsrH decay in the exponential phase. Thus, our data defines acis-encoded sRNA that regulates fatty acid synthesis via a regulatory mechanism also involving PNPase.
