Transcriptional pausing at the translation start site operates as a critical checkpoint for riboswitch regulation

Riboswitches are non-coding RNA elements that detect metabolites and control expression by regulating mRNA levels or translation. Here, the authors provide evidence that theE. coli thiC riboswitch has a pause site in the translation initiation region that acts as a checkpoint for thiCexpression.
