RNA-Based Regulation

Antisense RNAs are single-stranded RNA molecules that can bind and inhibit specific mRNA translation to protein.

Attenuation is a mechanism utilized by bacteria to regulate unnecessary gene expression.

Riboswitches are naturally occurring RNA molecules that can regulate gene expression.

The sigma factor is responsible for proper transcriptional initiation.

Sigma factors are proteins that regulate gene expression that are controlled at various levels, including at the translational level.

Proteolytic degradation, or proteolysis, is a key factor that controls protein concentration and function.

Small regulatory RNAs are non-coding RNA molecules that play a role in cellular processes such as activation or inhibition processes.
