2 Pallas a different name, 智神星 "zhìshénxīng" (which means "the wisdom-god(dess) star"), even though the Chinese call the goddess Pallas herself by the Greek name (帕拉斯 "pàlāsī"). The stony-iron Pallasite meteorites are not connected to the Pallas asteroid, being instead named after the German naturalist Peter Simon Pallas. The chemical element palladium, on the other hand, was named after the asteroid, which had been discovered just before the element. As with other asteroids, the astronomical symbol for Pallas is a disk with its discovery number, ②. It also has an older, more iconic symbol, ⚴ () or sometimes 🜍 (). Pallas has
Sxy 5' UTR element sequence. Mutations that interfere with the stability of this secondary structure lead to increased translation of sxy followed by upregulation of the competence regulon. In the fellow gammaproteobacterium "Vibrio cholerae", a different RNA regulatory system is used. Here, a sRNA named 'tfoR' positively regulates expression of the sxy (tfoX) protein. The RNA element responds to chitin, which is an important regulator of competence in "V. cholera". Deletion of tfoR removed all competence for exogenous DNA in "V. cholera" "in vivo". Sxy 5' UTR element The Sxy 5' UTR element is an RNA element that controls expression of the sxy gene
