Molecule Role Virulence factor
Molecule Role Annotation FUNCTION: RNA-binding protein that stimulates the elongation of poly(A) tails (By similarity)(UniProt: P0A3G8).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the hfq family(UniProt: P0A3G8).

MUTATION: hfq encodes for the RNA binding protein host factor I (HF-I). The hfq knock out strain has been showed a reduced growth rate and is unable to utilize glucose as a sole carbon source(Sonnleitner et al., 2003).

hfq is required for the efficient translation of the stationary-phase sigma factor RpoS in many bacteria, and a Brucella abortus hfq mutant displays a phenotype in vitro, which suggests that it has a generalized defect in stationary-phase physiology. The inability of the B. abortus hfq mutant to survive and replicate in a wild-type manner in cultured murine macrophages, and the profound attenuation displayed by this strain and its B melitensis counterpart in experimentally infected animals indicate that stationary -phase physiology plays an essential role in the capacity of the brucellae to establish and maintain long-term intracellular residence in host macrophages (Sonnleitner et al., 2003).

In contrast to B abortus 2308, the isogenic hfq and bacA mutants remained in acidic, LAMP-1 phagosomes and failed to initiate intracellular replication (Sonnleitner et al., 2003).

A hfq mutant of B abortus was eliminated from mouse spleens more rapidly than the wild type (Sonnleitner et al., 2003).
