Paper of the month: April 2015
- In a groundbreaking study from 2004, several candidate riboswitches have been discovered in Bacillus subtilis. While the ydaO riboswitch has recently been discovered to be a target of the second messenger c-di-AMP, two new studies identify manganese ions as the ligand of the yybP-ykoY motif that controls the expression of the yybP and ykoY genes. Both genes are induced in the presence of Mn2+, due to the interaction of the ion with the riboswitch. This finding implies that YybP and YkoY, which have not yet been functionally studied, are implicated in the control of manganese homeostasis.
