Transcriptional Riboswitches Integrate Timescales for Bacterial Gene Expression Control

Transcriptional riboswitches involve RNA aptamers that are typically found in the 5′ untranslated regions (UTRs) of bacterial mRNAs and form alternative secondary structures upon binding to cognate ligands. Alteration of the riboswitch's secondary structure results in perturbations of an adjace...
