We report cocrystal structures of a remarkably compact riboswitch (34 nucleotides suffice for ligand recognition) from Bacillus subtilis that is selective for the essential nucleobase preQ(1) (7-aminomethyl-7-deazaguanine). The structures reveal a previously unrecognized pseudoknot fold and suggest a conserved gene-regulatory mechanism whereby ligand binding promotes sequestration of an RNA segment that otherwise assembles into a transcriptional antiterminator. Cocrystal structure of a class I preQ1 riboswitch reveals a pseudoknot recognizing an essential hypermodified nucleobase.,Klein DJ, Edwards TE, Ferre-D'Amare AR Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2009 Mar;16(3):343-4.
