Abstract
Riboswitches consist of an aptamer domain and expression platform, which senses a signal and regulates gene expression, respectively. Here the authors show that the expression platform of a SAM-I riboswitch from the Gram-negative bacteria can sense and bind uncharged an initiator Met tRNA to control the met operon.
