Figure 8. B-5a sxRNA bait-reporter switch design and fold predictions.

Figure 8

(a) Design of B-5a. A “switched” sxRNA sequence was designed to interact with trigger T-5 (shown in red). The incorporated HSL sequence is shown highlighted in green. This sxRNA includes a sequence intended to act as destabilizer (D2) and a sequence intended to isolate the sxRNA (I2) from preceding 5′ sequence (when in bait-reporter context). Prediction shows both these sequences combining to act as a single destabilizer in the “bait only” context (b) RNAfold prediction for the sequence without T-5, note absence of structured HSL motif. (c) RNAcofold prediction for sequence with T-5, showing reformed HSL structural motif.
