摘要
Within the last decade, it has become obvious that RNA plays an important role in regulating gene expression. This has led to a plethora of approaches aiming at exploiting the outstanding chemical properties of RNA to develop synthetic RNA regulators for conditional gene expression systems. Consequently, many different regulators have been developed to act on various stages of gene expression. They can be engineered to respond to almost any ligand of choice and are, therefore, of great interest for applications in synthetic biology. This review presents an overview of such engineered riboswitches, discusses their applicability and points out recent trends in their development. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Riboswitches. (c) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
