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

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 bacterial glmS ribozyme is mechanistically unique among both riboswitches and RNA catalysts. Its self-cleavage activity is the basis of riboswitch regulation of glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P) production, and catalysis requires GlcN6P as a coenzyme. Previous work has shown that the coenzyme

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

A novel post-translational modification of threonine, β-N-acetylglucosaminyl-phosphate, was recently discovered on assembly protein AP180, a protein which plays a crucial role in clathrin coated vesicle formation in synaptic vesicle endocytosis (SVE). Herein, we report studies aimed at probing the effect
