• PubMed Abstract: 
  

  RNA thermometers are temperature-sensing non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of downstream genes. A well-characterized RNA thermometer motif discovered in bacteria is the ROSE-like element (repression of heat shock gene expression). ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are a superfamily of transmembrane proteins that harness ATP hydrolysis to facilitate the export and import of substrates across cellular membranes. Through structure-guided bioinformatics, we discovered that ROSE-like RNA thermometers are widespread upstream of ABC transporter genes in bacteria. X-ray crystallography, biochemistry, and cellular assays indicate that these RNA thermometers are functional regulatory elements. This study expands the known biological role of RNA thermometers to these key membrane transporters.
