Self-cleaving glmS ribozymes selectively bind glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P) and use this metabolite as a cofactor to promote self-cleavage by internal phosphoester transfer. Representatives of the glmS ribozyme class are found in Gram-positive bacteria where they reside in the 5' untranslated regions

The glmS-riboswitch is unique among riboswitch families as it represents a metabolite-dependent ribozyme that undergoes self-cleavage upon recognition of glucosamin-6-phosphate. The glmS-riboswitch is located in the 5'-untranslated region of bacterial genes involved in cell wall biosynthesis. Therefore, this riboswitch represents

The main aim of our study was to determine the physiological function of NagA enzyme in the Listeria monocytogenes cell. The primary structure of the murein of L. monocytogenes is very similar to that of Escherichia coli, the main differences

We have synthesized a light-activatable ("caged") derivative of glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P), which only upon irradiation becomes a cofactor for the glmS riboswitch. This glmS riboswitch maintains its activity when embedded in the 3'-untranslated region of eukaryotic mRNA molecules and caged GlcN6P

Glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase (GlmS) is responsible for the first and rate-limiting step in the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway. It catalyzes the conversion of D-fructose-6P (F6P) into D-glucosamine-6P (GlcN6P) using L-glutamine (Gln) as nitrogen donor (synthase activity) according to an ordered bi-bi process
