Vc2 Riboswitch

This is the regulatory sequence of the Vc2 Riboswitch. The Vc2 Riboswitch is a class I c-di-GMP riboswitch. Upon binding of c-di-GMP, the downstream gene will be repressed from getting translated. When c-di-GMP is getting degraded in the cell, the alterations in structure will alleviate the repression, and translation of the gene will occur [1,2].

Vc2 Riboswitches are regulatory elements naturally occurring in Vibrio cholerea. But these type of class I riboswtiches are present in multiple different bacterial species [3].
