Regulation of translation via mRNA structure in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. (2005, background): “In some recently discovered cases, a conformational change in the mRNA is induced by small metabolites or a change in temperature (Chowdhury et al., 2003; Johansson et al., 2002; Nahvi et al., 2004; Nou and Kadner, 2000; Ravnum and Andersson, 2001; Winkler et al., 2002).”
The small RNA regulators of Escherichia coli: roles and mechanisms*. (2004, background): “It is also clear that some RNA sequences that are parts of messages [5′ or 3′ untranslated regions (UTRs)] carry out important sensing and regulatory roles, changing their folding and behavior as a function of temperature or binding to small molecule effectors (43, 88).”

Regulation of bacterial gene expression by riboswitches. (2005, background): “In this instance, temperature changes lead to altered expression of PrfA, a transcriptional activator that in turn regulates virulence gene production ( 38 ).”
What makes the Arabidopsis clock tick on time? A review on entrainment (2005, background): “The sensor molecule can be the 5¢ UTR of a gene to regulate its translation (Johansson et al. 2002), or a protein whose unfolding prevents the formation of the active dimer necessary to induce gene expression (Hurme et al.”
Role of SVP in the control of flowering time by ambient temperature in Arabidopsis. (2007, result): “Taken together, these results indicate that SVP expression is weakly temperature dependent, similar to the thermosensory genes of other species (Johansson et al. 2002).”
Phylogeny of the bacterial superfamily of Crp-Fnr transcription regulators: exploiting the metabolic spectrum by controlling alternative gene programs. (2003, background): “At this temperature the region forms a stem and loop structure that masks the ribosome-binding site [192].”
Regulatory RNAs in Bacteria (2009, background): “Finally, thermosensors and riboswitches can have roles as regulators of pathogenesis, upregulating virulence genes upon increased temperature encountered in host cells or upon binding signals such as the ''second messenger'' cyclic di-GMP (Johansson et al., 2002; Sudarsan et al., 2008).”
