Caught at its own game: regulatory small RNA inactivated by an inducible transcript mimicking its target

Abstract: A relevant, yet little recognized feature of antisense regulation is the possibility of switching roles between regulatory and regulated RNAs. Here we show that induction of a Salmonella gene relies on the conversion of a small RNA from effector to regulatory target. The chiP gene (formerly ybfM), identified and characterized in the present study, encodes a conserved enterobacterial chitoporin required for uptake of chitin-derived oligosaccharides. In the absence of inducer, chiP is kept silent by the action o… Show more

“…Figueroa-Bossi et al (2009) isolated mutations inactivating hfq, mutations inactivating the sRNA, and mutations in the fusion, within the pairing region with the sRNA, that all relieved ybfM repression, as expected. In the overproduction screen, genes for the 59 pyrophosphohydrolase rppH and the polyA polymerase pcnB were identified; these should lead to increased sRNA degradation ).…”

“…This stoichiometric destruction of an sRNA by pairing with a target raises the intriguing possibility that one target, made in high amounts, might titrate away an sRNA from other targets by causing degradation. The work by Figueroa-Bossi et al (2009) and Overgaard et al (2009) demonstrates a number of new twists on this idea.…”
