A short RNA stem–loop is necessary and sufficient for repression of gene expression during early logarithmic phase in trypanosomes

We have compared the transcriptomes of cultured procyclic Trypanosoma brucei cells in early and late logarithmic phases and found that ∼200 mRNAs were differentially regulated. In late log phase cells, the most upregulated mRNA encoded the nucleobase transporter NT8. The 3′ untranslated region (UTR)...
