Preferred term

Riboswitch  

Type

  • mesh:Descriptor

Definition

  • Part of a MESSENGER RNA molecule that undergoes a conformation change upon binding a specific metabolite or other small molecule thereby regulating the messenger RNA's transcription, post-transcriptional processing, transport, translation, or stability in response to varying levels of the metabolite or other small molecule. The metabolite/small molecule sensing domain of riboswitches.
