Mycobacterium tuberculosis 6C sRNA binds multiple mRNA targets via C-rich loops independent of RNA chaperones.

Abstract:

:Bacterial small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are the most abundant class of post-transcriptional regulators and have been well studied in Gram-negative bacteria. Little is known about the functions and mechanisms of sRNAs in high GC Gram-positive bacteria including Mycobacterium and Streptomyces. Here, we performed an in-depth study of 6C sRNA of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is conserved among high GC Gram-positive bacteria. Forty-seven genes were identified as possible direct targets of 6C sRNA and 15 of them were validated using an in vivo translational lacZ fusion system. We found that 6C sRNA plays a pleotropic role and regulates genes involved in various cellular processes, including DNA replication and protein secretion. Mapping the interactions of 6C sRNA with mRNA targets panD and dnaB revealed that the C-rich loops of 6C sRNA act as direct binding sites to mRNA targets. Unlike in Gram-negative bacteria where RNA binding proteins Hfq and ProQ are required, the interactions of 6C sRNA with mRNAs appear to be independent of RNA chaperones. Our findings suggest that the multiple G-C pairings between single stranded regions are sufficient to establish stable interactions between 6C sRNA and mRNA targets, providing a mechanism for sRNAs in high GC Gram-positive bacteria.
