Abstract excerpt
The recently described glmS ribozyme is a self-cleaving RNA sequence found in the 5' noncoding region of the transcript of the gene for glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P) synthase in many Gram-positive bacteria. This ribozyme is associated with the GlcN6P riboswitch, and ribozyme activity in response to binding of the metabolite, GlcN6P, is proposed to effect levels of gene expression. The previously defined core...
