A Novel Noncoding RNA dsr11 Involved in Heat Stress Tolerance in Deinococcus radiodurans.

ABSTRACT: Deinococcus radiodurans is an extremely resistant bacteria that has evolved masterful strategies to enable survival under various environmental stress conditions. Heat stress is a major environmental stress factor that can cause denaturation of proteins, membrane disruption, and oxidative stress. Previous studies have examined the mechanisms of the heat stress response by analyzing changes in protein levels; however, little is known about the role of small noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), which are known to play important regulatory functions in bacteria during various environmental stress response. The ncRNA dsr11 of D. radiodurans was previously identified by RNA-seq and Northern blot. In this study, we showed that the transcription level of dsr11 was up-regulated 4.2
