Toxoplasma lactate dehydrogenase 1 regulatory UTR

In Toxoplasma gondii the translational repression of lactate dehydrogenase 1 (LDH1) was discovered to be mediated through its 5′UTR. A small nucleotide regulatory RNA hairpin was shown to be essential for the repression. It is possible that this hairpin may act as the nucleation site for the binding of an trans-acting factor(s) that allow for the translational repression.[1]
