3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs) and particularly long 3' UTRs have been shown to act as a new class of post-transcriptional regulatory element. We previously reported that <i>hmsT</i> mRNA stability is negatively regulated by the 3' UTR of <i>hmsT</i> in <i>Yersinia pestis</i>. To investigate more general effects of 3' UTRs in <i>Y. pestis</i>, we selected 15 genes potentially possessing long 3' UTRs with different AU content and constructed their 3' UTR deletion mutants. Deletion of AU-rich 3 ...[more]
