RsmAregulated
RsmAregulated refers to genes, transcripts, or operons whose expression is controlled by the RNA-binding protein RsmA, a member of the CsrA/RsmA family of post-transcriptional regulators found in many bacteria. RsmA proteins regulate gene expression by binding to specific sequence motifs, often GGA elements, in the 5' untranslated regions or coding regions of target mRNAs. This binding typically affects translation initiation and can influence mRNA stability, leading to repression or, in some cases, activation of gene expression.
The activity of RsmA is modulated by small regulatory RNAs, such as RsmY and RsmZ in various
Identifying RsmA-regulated genes typically involves comparing wild-type strains with RsmA mutants or measuring changes in mRNA
