Abstract excerpt
Riboswitches in messenger RNAs carry receptor domains called aptamers that can bind to metabolites and control expression of associated genes. The Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis has two representatives of a class of riboswitches that bind flavin mononucleotide (FMN). These riboswitches control genes responsible for the biosynthesis and transport of riboflavin, a precursor of FMN. We found that...
