Carbon storage regulator A (CsrA) is an RNA-binding protein first identified in Escherichia coli, and its homologs are found in many bacterial species and pathogens.[2] In pseudomonads, CsrA homologs are called repressor of secondary metabolites (i.e., RsmA, RsmE, and RsmF).[2][3] CsrA proteins are post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression that bind to RNA targets, impacting their transcription, translation, and/or RNA stability.[4] In the most commonly studied mechanism of regulation, CsrA binds to the Shine–Dalgarno sequence of a messenger RNA and inhibits translation initiation and facilitates mRNA decay.[5]
Across different species, CsrA regulates glycogen biosynthesis and catabolism,[6] glycolysis,[5] biofilm formation,[7] bacterial motility,[8] quorum sensing,[9] andvirulence.[2]
RNA Interactions
[edit]
Using SELEX, the high-affinity CsrA binding motif was identified as a "GGA" sequence located in the single-stranded region of a stem-loop.[10] This binding motif was confirmed in E. coli and Salmonella using CLIP-seq.[11][12] These studies identified hundreds of target RNAs, including mRNAs, sRNAs, and tRNAs.[11][12]
CsrA activity is controlled by the expression of sRNAs such as CsrB, CsrC, RsmZ, RsmY, and RsmX that contain many copies of the CsrA binding motif.[2] These RNAs sequester CsrA, which allows the translation (or other activity) of the previously inhibited bound mRNAs.[2][4]
