Yda O/yua A Leader
The YdaO/YuaA leader is a conserved RNA structure found upstream of the ydaO and yuaA genes in Bacillus subtilis and related genes in other bacteria. The ydaO/yuaA element is thought to act as a genetic "off" switch for the ydaO and yuaA genes in its native state. It is believed that the element may be triggered during osmotic shock leading to activation of ydaO, a predicted amino acid transporter gene, and members of the yuaA-yubG operon which code for KtrA and KtrB K+ transporters.

Famous quotes containing the word leader:
“Most of the ladies and gentlemen who mourn the passing of the nation’s leaders wouldn’t know a leader if they saw one. If they had the bad luck to come across a leader, they would find out that he might demand something from them, and this impertinence would put an abrupt and indignant end to their wish for his return.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
