Figure 6. Natural examples of tandem riboswitches that approximate Boolean logic functions.

Figure 6.

(A) Tandem guanine and PRPP aptamers form an IMPLY logic gate to determine the state of downstream gene expression (express.). (B) Tandem S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) riboswitches form a NOR logic gate. (C) Tandem T box RNA and ppGpp riboswitches form an AND logic gate. The T box and ppGpp riboswitch elements can occur in either order.
