RESUMO
RNA stability is an important component of gene expression, and antisense RNAs have been proposed to alter target RNA stability. We show here that the IS10 transposase mRNA, RNA-IN, is rendered unstable during control by the IS10 antisense RNA, RNA-OUT. Destabilization requires RNA-OUT/RNA-IN pairing and ribonuclease III cleavage. Independent of such cleavage, RNA-OUT is rendered unstable through disruption of its secondary structure. Pairing has no other obvious effects on RNA-IN transcription or stability. Nevertheless, RNA-IN destabilization is not required for antisense control in vivo. In the accompanying paper [Ma,C. and Simons, R.W. (1990) EMBO J., 9, 1267-1274 we show that pairing blocks ribosome binding to RNA-IN. Were it not for control at this level, destabilization would play a more prominent role.
