Rational design of a synthetic mammalian riboswitch as a ligand-responsive -1 ribosomal frame-shifting stimulator
12 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
Metabolite-responsive RNA pseudoknots derived from prokaryotic riboswitches have been shown to stimulate -1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF), suggesting -1 PRF as a promising gene expression platform to extend riboswitch applications in higher eukaryotes. However, its general application has been hampered by difficulty in identifying a specific ligand-responsive pseudoknot that also functions as a...
