A typical bacterial mRNA transcript controlled by a riboregulatory element such as a riboswitch is composed of three sections: the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR), the protein-coding region ...

In particular, there is an area near the 5' end of the molecule that is known as the untranslated region (UTR) or leader sequence. This portion of mRNA is located between the first nucleotide that ...

have analyzed global changes in mRNA length in a murine model of atherosclerosis progression. They observed variations in the 5'UTR, 3'UTR, and coding regions of mRNAs, which become shorter as ...

We found that inclusion or exclusion of the 3′UTR of an mRNA that encodes a transcription factor did not change how much of the transcription factor protein was expressed but determined the location ...
