  • TEMPERATURE REGULATED GENE EXPRESSION
    Publication number: 20090042301
    Abstract: A method for regulation of gene expression by variation of temperature uses a riboswitch. The riboswitch includes a 5?-UTR construct of crhC which alters its secondary structure in response to temperature, resulting in a more stable transcript at lower temperatures, permitting translation. At higher temperatures, the transcript is destabilized and functionally inactive. The 5?-UTR construct of crhC may be operatively linked to a promoter and a gene and administered to cells with an expression vector.
