Description
Encodes a RNA secondary structure that in the presence of theophylline undergoes a conformational change that makes available the previously sequestered RBS, thus allowing transcription of the downstream sequence. Achieves a 60-fold activation ratio in 2mM theophylline as reported by Topp et al. in: 'Synthetic Riboswitches That Induce Gene Expression in Diverse Bacterial Species.' Appl. Environ. Microbiol. December 2010 vol. 76 no. 23 7881-7884
Notes
None.
