lüll Recognition of S-adenosylmethionine by riboswitches Batey RTWiley Interdiscip Rev RNA 2011[Mar]; 2 (2): 299-311Riboswitches are regulatory elements commonly found in the 5' leader sequences of bacterial mRNAs that bind cellular metabolites to direct expression at either the transcriptional or translational level. The effectors of these RNAs are chemically diverse, including nucleobases and nucleosides, amino acids, cofactors, and second messenger molecules. Over the last few years, a number of structures have revealed the architectural means by which RNA creates binding pockets of high affinity and specificity for these compounds. For most effectors, there is a single class of associated riboswitches. However, eight individual classes of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and/or S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) responsive riboswitches that control various aspects of sulfur metabolism have been validated, revealing a diverse set of solutions to the recognition of these ubiquitous metabolites. This review focuses upon the structures of RNAs that bind SAM and SAH and how they discriminate between these compounds.|*Riboswitch/genetics/physiology[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Base Sequence[MESH]|Binding Sites/genetics[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Models, Biological[MESH]|Models, Molecular[MESH]|Nucleic Acid Conformation[MESH]|Protein Binding/genetics[MESH]|S-Adenosylmethionine/chemistry/*metabolism[MESH]|Substrate Specificity[MESH] |
