The construction of an artificial riboswitch is based on a ligand-RNA pair without any molecular biology-based selection processes. The ligand selectively and significantly stabilized an RNA duplex containing an r(XGG)/r(XGG) sequence (X=U, A, G). The integration of the ligand-binding sequences into the 5'-untranslated region of mRNA provided an artificial riboswitch that was responsive to Z-NCTS.
人工核糖开关的构建基于配体-RNA 对,而不涉及任何基于分子生物学的选择过程。该配体选择性地并显著稳定了含有 r(XGG)/r(XGG)序列(X=U、A、G)的 RNA 双链体。将配体结合序列整合到 mRNA 的 5'-非翻译区中,提供了一种对 Z-NCTS 有响应的人工核糖开关。
