Ligand-mediated and tertiary interactions cooperatively stabilize the P1 region in the guanine-sensing riboswitch.

Riboswitches are genetic regulatory elements that control gene expression depending on ligand binding. The guanine-sensing riboswitch (Gsw) binds ligands at a three-way junction formed by paired regions P1, P2, and P3. Loops L2 and L3 cap the P2 and P3 helices and form tertiary interactions. Part of...
