Lithium-sensing riboswitch classes regulate expression of bacterial cation transporter genes

Abstract Lithium is rare in Earth’s crust compared to the biologically relevant alkali metal cations sodium and potassium but can accumulate to toxic levels in some environments. We report the experimental validation of two distinct bacterial riboswitch classes that selectively activate gene express...
