Collection of regulogs for SAH_riboswitch (RF01057) RNA regulatory element

The SAH riboswitch was originally identified by bioinformatics as a conserved RNA-like structure located upstream of the methionine metabolism genes in various Proteobacteria and in some Actinobacteria [17621584]. Later, the SAM-IV riboswitch was shown to bind directly to S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) [18374645]. S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is a common co-substrate involved in methyl group transfers and is synthesized from the methionine amino acid by the SAM synthase MetK. SAH is produced upon SAM-dependent methylation, and the intracellular balance of the two species has to be closely monitored to maintain cellular homeostasis and avoid toxicity [6760211]. more
