Bacterial cells contain several small RNAs (sRNAs) that are not translated. These stable, abundant RNAs act by multiple mechanisms, such as RNA-RNA basepairing, RNA-protein interactions and intrinsic RNA activity, and regulate diverse cellular functions, including RNA processing, mRNA stability, translation, protein stability and secretion.
细菌细胞含有几种不被翻译的小RNA(sRNA)。这些稳定且丰富的RNA通过多种机制发挥作用,如RNA-RNA碱基配对、RNA-蛋白质相互作用和内在RNA活性,并调节多种细胞功能,包括RNA加工、mRNA稳定性、翻译、蛋白质稳定性和分泌。
