Description
Self-assembles into a one-dimensional RNA scaffold with binding domains for the MS2 bacteriophage coat protein. When presented with theophylline, the ribozyme should cleave the scaffold sequences, releasing the aptamers from the existing scaffold and preventing other scaffolds from forming.
Notes
The riboswitch was inserted into the scaffold sequence directly upstream of the aptamer. The PP7 aptamer was omitted to decrease the length of sequence not involved in scaffold folding. Spacers were used to prevent folding issues with the scaffold and ribozyme components of the transcripts.
