Abstract
The invention includes the gene csrB, the RNA encoded thereby and methods of use thereof. csrB RNA binds to and antagonizes the ability of CsrA to down-regulate the production of certain metabolic products. This invention is also drawn to methods of using csrB polynucleotides, and combination of csrB polynucleotides and CsrA polypeptides and antibodies that bind to such combinations.
