The Non-Canonical Iron-Responsive Element of IRE-tvcp12 Hairpin Structure at the 3′-UTR of Trichomonas vaginalis TvCP12 mRNA That Binds TvHSP70 and TvACTN-3 Can Regulate mRNA Stability and Amount of Protein

Abstract excerpt

Trichomonas vaginalis is one of the most common sexually transmitted parasites in humans. This protozoan has high iron requirements for growth, metabolism, and virulence. However, iron concentrations also differentially modulate T. vaginalis gene expression as in the genes encoding cysteine proteinases TvCP4 and TvCP12. Our goal was to identify the regulatory mechanism mediating the upregulation of tvcp12 under...
