RNA thermometer (PrfA)

An [http://2008.igem.org/Team:TUDelft/Temperature_analysis#RNA_thermometer RNA thermometer] that can be used for temperature sensitive post-transcriptional regulation which is based on a RNA thermometer from Listeria Monocytogenes that initiates translation at 37°C.

The image shows the secondary structure of the part after ligation to a protein coding part, as predicted by [http://rna.tbi.univie.ac.at/cgi-bin/RNAfold.cgi RNAfold]. Notice that the 3' end, including the scar and the start codon, does not belong to the part. The blue region is the Shine Dalgarno sequence which is the ribosome binding site. The blue nucleotides are the nucleotides that had to be changed in order to get the desired secondary structure after introduction of the scar.
