Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0164956A2] The present invention relates to the construction of an allosteric control module in which a catalytic RNA forms a part of or is linked to an effector-binding RNA domain or aptamer. These constructs place the activity of the catalytic RNA under the control of the effector and require the presence of an appropriate effector for activation or inactivation. The present invention provides means to identify useful effector molecules as well as their use to evolve cognate aptamers. The invention involves both the evolution of RNA sequences which bind the effector and a selection proces in which the allosteric control modules are identified by their catalytic function in the presence and absence of the effector. The resulting regulatable catalytic RNAs may be used to alter the expression of a target RNA molecule in a controlled fashion.
