Journal ArticleDOI

Computational design of three-dimensional RNA structure and function.

TL;DR: Automated 3D design produces rapid and near-atomically accurate predictions of RNA tertiary structure as well as the ability to generate complex RNA machines such as functional single-stranded tethered ribosomes, and enhancement of the binding properties of small-molecule RNA aptamers.
Journal ArticleDOI

A ligand-gated strand displacement mechanism for ZTP riboswitch transcription control.

TL;DR: This work determines the series of cotranscriptional folds and rearrangements that mediate antitermination by the Clostridium beijerinckii pfl ZTP riboswitch in response to the purine biosynthetic intermediate ZMP and reveals that an internal RNA strand displacement andriboswitch sequence play important roles in the process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using in-cell SHAPE-Seq and simulations to probe structure–function design principles of RNA transcriptional regulators

TL;DR: A new structure-function design principle for attenuators is identified that enables the forward engineering of new RNA transcriptional repressors and establishes interior loops as an important structural element for designing synthetic RNA gene regulators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterizing the Structure-Function Relationship of a Naturally Occurring RNA Thermometer

TL;DR: Using the SHAPE-Seq RNA structure-probing method in vivo and in vitro, it is found that the regulator functions by a subtle shift in equilibrium RNA structure populations that leads to a partial melting of the helix containing the ribosome binding site.
