RNA thermosensors (RNATs), found in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of some bacterial messenger RNAs (mRNAs), control the translation of the downstream gene in a temperature-dependent manner. In Listeria monocytogenes, the expression of a key transcription factor, PrfA, is mediated by an RNAT in its 5' UTR. PrfA functions as a master regulator of virulence in L. monocytogenes, controlling the expression of many virulence factors. The temperature-regulated expression of PrfA by its RNAT element serves as a signal of successful host in
