Neisseria meningitidis causes bacterial meningitis and septicemia. It evades the
host complement system by upregulating expression of immune evasion factors in
response to changes in temperature. RNA thermometers within mRNAs control
expression of bacterial immune evasion factors, including CssA, in the
5'-untranslated region of the operon for capsule biosynthesis. We dissect the
molecular mechanisms of thermoregulation and report the structure of the CssA
thermometer. We show that the RNA thermometer acts as a rheostat, whose stability
is optimized to respond in a small temperature range around 37°C as occur within
the upper airways during infection. Small increases in temperature gradually open
up the structure to allow progressively increased access to the ribosome binding
site. Even small changes in stability induced by mutations of imperfect base
pairs, as in naturally occurring polymorphisms, shift the thermometer response
outside of the desired temperature range, suggesting that its activity could be
modulated by pharmacological intervention.
