The glmS ribozyme riboswitch is the first known natural catalytic RNA that employs a small-molecule cofactor. Binding of glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P) uncovers the latent self-cleavage activity of the RNA, which adopts a catalytically competent conformation that is nonetheless inactive in the

The GlmS ribozyme is believed to exploit a general acid-base catalytic mechanism in the presence of glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P) to accelerate self-cleavage by approximately six orders of magnitude. The general acid and general base are not known, and the role of

The structural rationale, synthesis and evaluation of an inhibitor designed to block glucosamine synthesis by competitively inhibiting the action of glutamine: fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase and subsequently reducing the transformation of any glucosamine-6-phosphate formed to UDP-N-acetylglucosamine are described. The inhibitor 2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-6-sulfo-D-glucose (D-glucosamine-6-sulfonate)

Biochemistry, 50(33), 7236-7242 (2011-07-21)
The glmS riboswitch regulates gene expression through a self-cleavage activity. The reaction is catalyzed with the assistance of the metabolite cofactor glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P), whose amino group is proposed to serve as the general acid during the reaction. This reaction is

Quarterly reviews of biophysics, 43(4), 423-447 (2010-09-09)
The glmS ribozyme is the first known example of a natural ribozyme that has evolved to require binding of an exogenous small molecule for activity. In Gram-positive bacteria, this RNA domain is part of the messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding the
