Abstract
Studies in pro- and eukaryotes have revealed that translation can determine the stability of a given messenger RNA. In bacteria, intrinsic mRNA signals can confer efficient ribosome binding, whereas translational feedback inhibition or environmental cues can interfere with this process. Such regulatory mechanisms are often controlled by RNA-binding proteins, small noncoding RNAs and structural rearrangements within the 5' untranslated region. Here, we review molecular events occurring in the 5' untranslated region of primarily Escherichia coli mRNAs with regard to their effects on mRNA stability.
