MicX sRNA (formerly known as A10)[1] is a small non-coding RNA found in Vibrio cholerae.[2] It was given the name MicX as it has a similar function to MicA, MicC and MicF in E. coli.[3] MicX sRNA negatively regulates an outer membrane protein (coded for by VC0972) and also a component of an ABC transporter (gene VC0620).[4] These interactions were predicted and then confirmed using a DNA microarray.[2]

MicX was identified through a bioinformatics screen of V. cholerae having been previously predicted.[1] Levels of transcription of this sRNA were compared under several conditions: it was found to be expressed on all tested mediums; richer mediums slightly reduced transcription; repression of certain sigma factors (δS and δE) did not change transcription but it was dramatically reduced in the absence of Hfq protein.[2] This observation is in accordance with other sRNA expression patterns.[5][6]

The MicX RNA gene overlaps with VCA0943 - a gene coding for a maltose transporter permease - but the ribonuclease RNAase E processes the MicX transcript to create an active and stable form containing only the VCA0943 3′ UTR.[2]
