Characterization of the general effects of 3′ UTRs on mRNA expression in Yersinia pestis. (A,B) qRT-PCR analysis of transcripts of genes containing AT-rich (A) or normal (B) 3′ IGRs in the wild type (WT) and nucleotides 1–300 of the 3′ terminus (3′ T1-300) mutant strains (Δ3′T1-300), in which the 3′ T1-300 is disrupted by insertion of a kanamycin (kan) cassette. The Y. pestis WT strain was used as a control, and the fold change in relative mRNA level for each strain was compared with that of the WT (set as 1). Student’s t-test was used to calculate p-values. p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.001. Means ± standard deviation (SD) from three independent experiments are shown.
