c-di-GMP tandem riboswitche bc3-5

Three complete c-di-GMP riboswitches (Bc3, Bc4 and Bc5 RNA) with similar structures, which are arranged in tandem to constitute a triple-tandem (Bc3-5 RNA) riboswitch in the 5′-UTR of the cspABCDE mRNA in Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. chinensis CT-43. They are c-di-GMP riboswitches (termed c-di-GMP-I), c-di-GMP-I binds the second messenger c-di-GMP through hydrogen bonding or base stacking of the two guanosines of c-di-GMP with five specific bases in the aptamer, resulting in transcriptional changes of downstream genes correlating with c-di-GMP function


Figure 1. Illustration of riboswitch mechanism.


As shown in the illustration, transcript of riboswitches region would form a hairpin and terminate transcription under low concentration of c-di-GMP.

(b) Secondary structure comparisons of Bc3, Bc4 and Bc5 aptamers with Vc2 aptamer. Conserved motifs such as tetra-loop (blue motif in stem P2), tetra-loop receptor (green motif in stem P3) and G·C base pair (C base in stem P2 and G base in stem P3 were drawn in magenta) connecting P2 with P3 were all colored to facilitate comparison. c-di-GMP was drawn in cyan and its interacting bases drawn in red. (c) Multiply local sequence blast of riboswitches’ terminators. Blue rectangle shows U region of riboswitches.

Figure 4. Characterization of Riboswitch. We use “read-through rate” (RTR) of the downstream gene to measure the terminator forming efficiency of a riboswitch. The read-through rate of each riboswitch in liquid medium was assessed by relative fluorescence intensity, which is the ratio of specific activity of a test strain to specific activity of the control strain (pET-28-pleD/J23117+sfGFP) with the same promoter of test circuits (such as J23117+Bc3-5+sfGFP).
