The carbon storage regulator (Csr) or repressor of stationary phase metabolites (Rsm) system of is among the most complex and best-studied posttranscriptional regulatory systems. Based on a small RNA-binding protein, CsrA and homologs, it controls metabolism, physiology, and bacterial lifestyle deci...
