Regulation of gene expression is critical for Mycobacterium tuberculosis to tolerate stressors encountered during infection, and for non-pathogenic mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium smegmatis to survive environmental stressors. Unlike better-studied models, mycobacteria express ∼14% of their genes as leaderless transcripts. However, the impacts of leaderless transcript structures on mRNA half-life and translation efficiency in mycobacteria have not been directly tested. For leadered transcripts, the contributions of 5' UTRs to mRNA
