Figure 3From: The distributions, mechanisms, and structures of metabolite-binding riboswitchesRiboswitch mechanisms. The mechanisms that riboswitches from different taxonomic groups use to regulate gene expression were classified on the basis of expression platform features (Figure 2). The fractions of riboswitch expression platforms in each category are displayed visually as shaded bars with the actual numbers observed written above in the order given in the legend. The phylogenetic tree on the left is described in the legend to Figure 1.Back to article page
