Noncoding RNAs are crucial regulators of gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, but how they affect the dynamics of transcriptional networks remains poorly understood. We analyzed the temporal characteristics of the cyanobacterial iron stress response by mathematical modeling and quantitative experimental analyses and focused on the role of a recently discovered small noncoding RNA, IsrR. We found that IsrR is responsible for a pronounced delay in the accumulation of isiA mRNA encoding t ...[more]
