The abstract

Two-level sRNA regulation. Blue is any target mRNA, red is sRNA and green is trap-RNA.

Small regulatory RNA is an active area of research with untapped possibilities for application in biotechnology. A novel type of small RNA regulation displaying favorable properties was investigated ...

Experiments

Chromosomal knockout

Verifying that the envisioned small RNA based gene silencing is possible. Plasmids containing and strains deleted for the components were constructed providing a biological model. The dynamic range of the araBAD promoter was expanded. For full description see experiments.

Modeling

Kinetic models of the system are the basis for modeling. Blue is target mRNA, red is small RNA and green is trap-RNA

A framework for characterization was developed to guide rational design and test hypotheses. Steady state analysis revealed that each trap-RNA system has a characteristic fold repression. For more information got to modeling.
