Riboswitches in messenger RNAs carry receptor domains called aptamers that can
bind to metabolites and control expression of associated genes. The Gram-positive
bacterium Bacillus subtilis has two representatives of a class of riboswitches
that bind flavin mononucleotide (FMN). These riboswitches control genes
responsible for the biosynthesis and transport of riboflavin, a precursor of FMN.
We found that roseoflavin, a chemical analog of FMN and riboflavin that has
antimicrobial activity, can directly bind to FMN riboswitch aptamers and
downregulate the expression of an FMN riboswitch-lacZ reporter gene in B.
subtilis. A role for the riboswitch in the antimicrobial mechanism of roseoflavin
is supported by our observation that some previously identified
roseoflavin-resistant bacteria have mutations within an FMN aptamer. Riboswitch
mutations in these resistant bacteria disrupt ligand binding and derepress
reporter gene expression in the presence of either riboflavin or roseoflavin. If
FMN riboswitches are a major target for roseoflavin antimicrobial action, then
future efforts to develop compounds that trigger FMN riboswitch function could
lead to the identification of new antimicrobial drugs.
