Abstract excerpt
The widespread ykkC-I riboswitch class exemplifies divergent riboswitch evolution. To analyze how natural selection has diversified its versatile RNA fold, we determined the X-ray crystal structure of the Burkholderia sp. TJI49 ykkC-I subtype-1 (Guanidine-I) riboswitch aptamer domain. Differing from the previously reported structures of orthologs from Dickeya dadantii and Sulfobacillus acidophilus, our...
