SAM-VI riboswitch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SAM-VI is a member of the riboswitch family. It is predominantly found in Bifidobacterium and exhibits some similarities to the SAM-III (Smk box) riboswitch class, but lacks most of the highly conserved nucleotides of SAM-III class. SAM-VI aptamers bind the cofactor S-adenosylmethinine SAM (a key metabolite in sulphur metabolism) and discriminate strongly against S-adenosylhomocysteine SAH. The class was discovered by further analysis of Bifido-meK motif RNAs.[1]
