RNAIII
In this article we will address the topic of RNAIII, which has aroused great interest in today's society. RNAIII is a topic that impacts different areas of daily life, from politics and economics, to culture and education. It is a topic that generates debate, reflection and criticism, and that, without a doubt, is fundamental to understanding current reality. Throughout this article we will explore different aspects of RNAIII, analyzing its impact, its implications and its relevance in today's world. In addition, we will present different perspectives and expert opinions on RNAIII, with the aim of offering a complete and enriching vision of this topic that is so relevant today.
RNAIII is a stable 514 nt regulatory RNA transcribed by the P3 promoter of the Staphylococcus aureus quorum-sensing agr system [1][2]). It is the major effector of the agr regulon, which controls the expression of many S. aureus genes encoding exoproteins and cell wall associated proteins plus others encoding regulatory proteins [3][4] The RNAIII transcript also encodes the 26 amino acid δ-haemolysin (Staphylococcus aureus delta toxin) peptide (Hld).[5] RNAIII contains many stem loops, most of which match the Shine-Dalgarno sequence involved in translation initiation of the regulated genes.[5] Some of these interactions are inhibitory, others stimulatory; among the former is the regulatory protein Rot.[6][7] In vitro, RNAIII is expressed post exponentially, inhibiting translation of the surface proteins, notably protein A, while stimulating that of the exoproteins, many of which are tissue-degrading enzymes or cytolysins.[8] Among the latter is the important virulence factor, α-hemolysin (or alpha toxin) (Hla), whose translation RNAIII activates by preventing the formation of an inhibitory foldback loop in the hla mRNA leader.[9]
