title: A group I intron riboswitch.
abstract: Riboswitches are mRNA-based elements that regulate gene expression via binding of a specific ligand. Breaker and coworkers have now discovered a novel type of regulatory RNA motif that acts by c-di-GMP-dependent control of a self-splicing group I intron ribozyme (Lee et al., 2010).
