Promoter-RNA-mediated transcription/translation repression
The pT181-promoter and 5’ untranslated region enable the expression of a downstream gene. In the absence of the antisense transcript, the 5’ region folds to create the structure depicted in figure 1 [2]. In this conformation, both transcription and ribosomal binding are unhindered.
In the presence of the antisense transcript, the 5’ region folds to create the structure depicted in figure 2 [2]. In this conformation, two hairpin structures are formed. The first hairpin structure functions as a premature transcriptional terminator, regulating expression at the transcriptional level. The second hairpin structure is formed at the RBS, regulating expression at a translational level. This dual regulation enabled a 98% repression a RFP expression upon induction of the antisense transcript [2].
