The 5′-UTR of cirA mRNA potentially forms an inhibitory structure preventing translation initiation. RNA-fold prediction of cirA 5′-UTR secondary structure (nucleotides −173 to +18 relative to the AUG start codon). The RyhB pairing core, the Hfq binding sites, the M2G mutation of Hfq binding site II and the MHfqIII mutation of Hfq binding site III are indicated. Probing results presented in Figure 7B and Supplementary Figure S7 are summarized here. Stem-loop structures are numbered (SL1, SL2, and SL3).
