Specific structural elements of the T-box riboswitch drive the two-step binding of the tRNA ligand

T-box riboswitches are cis-regulatory RNA elements that regulate the expression of proteins involved in amino acid biosynthesis and transport by binding to specific tRNAs and sensing their aminoacylation state. While the T-box modular structural elements that recognize different parts of a tRNA have...
