RNA thermometer used for post-transcriptional regulation based on a temperature-dependent system, based on a RNA thermometer from Listeria monocytogenes. It is maximally expressed at 37ºC and almost not detectable at 30ºC. It operates as a reversible molecular zipper that controls the availability of the RBS in its structure. When the temperature increases, the thermometer unzips and the RBS can be detected by the ribosome thus allowing translation of downstream mRNA. When the temperature is below a certain range, the RBS gets trapped. | RNA thermometer used for post-transcriptional regulation based on a temperature-dependent system, based on a RNA thermometer from Listeria monocytogenes.

RNA thermometer prfA
RNA thermometer used for post-transcriptional regulation based on a temperature-dependent system, based on a RNA thermometer from Listeria monocytogenes. It is maximally expressed at 37ºC and almost not detectable at 30ºC. It operates as a reversible molecular zipper that controls the availability of the RBS in its structure. When the temperature increases, the thermometer unzips and the RBS can be detected by the ribosome thus allowing translation of downstream mRNA. When the temperature is below a certain range, the RBS gets trapped.
