[en] Deinococcus radiodurans is an extremely resistant bacteria that has evolved masterful strategies to enable survival under various environmental stress conditions. Heat stress is a major environmental stress factor that can cause denaturation of proteins, membrane disruption, and oxidative stress. Previous studies have examined the mechanisms of the heat stress response by analyzing changes in protein levels; however, little is known about the role of small noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), which are known to play important regulatory functions in bacteria during various environmental stress response. The ncRNA dsr11 of D. radiodurans was previously identified by RNA-seq and Northern blot. In this study, we showed that the transcription level of dsr11 was up-regulated 4.2-fold under heat stress by qRT-PCR analysis. Heat tolerance assay showed that deleting dsr11 significantly inhibited the viability under high temperature conditions. To assess the influence of dsr11 on the D. radiodurans transcriptome, 157 genes were found differentially expressed in the knock-out mutant by RNA-seq experiment. Combining RNA-seq and in silico analysis, we found that trmE (tRNA modification GTPase) and dr_0651 (arginase) were likely to be the direct targets of dsr11. Further microscale thermophoresis results demonstrated that dsr11 can directly bind to the mRNA of trmE and dr_0651. Our results indicated that dsr11 can enhance the tolerance to heat stress of D. radiodurans by binding to trmE and dr_0651 mRNA. Overall, these results extend our understanding of ncRNA regulation and provide new insights into the heat stress response in D. radiodurans.
