Background

Riboswitches are regulatory RNAs that regulate gene expression by binding small molecule metabolites. Recently, a novel riboswitch was reported which is present in the leader RNA of the aminoglycoside resistance genes that encode the aminoglycoside acetyl transferase (AAC) and aminoglycoside adenyl transferase (AAD) enzymes. When the aminoglycosides bind to the leader RNA, a conformational change will be induced, leading to the expression of the aminoglycoside resistance genes(Figure 1). (Jia X et al, 2013.) In addition, the leader RNA encompass an integrase site (attl1)which is overlapped by a short peptide encoded by an ORF (ORF11). ( Roth A et al.) Therefore, Aleader is a complicated riboswitch contains ORF11, cistron, aminoglycoside-binding domain and att1 recombination site. Due to the complicacy of Aleader, the secondary structure of it could not be predicted by most software such as Mfold and NUPACK. (Jia X et al, 2013.).
