Article Synopsis
- Small RNAs (sRNAs) play a crucial role in regulating gene expression in bacteria by base-pairing with mRNAs, influencing genes related to iron homeostasis.
- Five additional sRNAs (RprA, RybB, ArrS, RseX, and SdsR) are identified as repressors of the fepA gene, each using unique mechanisms independent from one another.
- The regulation of fepA involves complex interactions with other molecules, such as the Hfq chaperone and RNase E, indicating that precise control of FepA levels is vital for bacterial adaptation to different environments.
In , transport of magnesium ions across the cellular membrane relies on MgtA and CorA transporters. While the expression of is controlled by the two-component system PhoQ/PhoP and 5' upstream region elements, expression is considered to be constitutive and not to depend on cellular factors. Importantly, the 5' upstream region of is predicted to fold into structures highly similar to the magnesium-sensing 5' upstream region.
