Henkin TM. The T box riboswitch: A novel regulatory RNA that utilizes tRNA as its ligand. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-GENE REGULATORY MECHANISMS 2014; 1839:959-963.

Abstract
The T box riboswitch is a cis-acting regulatory RNA that controls expression of amino acid-related genes in response to the aminoacylation state of a specific tRNA. Multiple genes in the same organism can utilize this mechanism, with each gene responding independently to its cognate tRNA. The uncharged tRNA interacts directly with the regulatory RNA element, and this interaction promotes readthrough of an intrinsic transcriptional termination site upstream of the regulated coding sequence. A second class of T box elements uses a similar tRNA-dependent response to regulate translation initiation. This review will describe the current state of our knowledge about this regulatory system. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Riboswitches.

Abstract
Corynebacterium glutamicum , a gram-positive bacterium, has been widely used for industrial amino acid production. Corynebacterium glutamicum his genes are located and transcribed in two unlinked loci, hisEG and hisDCB–orf1–orf2–hisHA–impA–hisFI. The latter his operon starts the transcription at the C residue localized 196 bp upstream of the hisD ATG start codon. Our computer-based sequence analysis showed that the region corresponding to the untranslated 5′ end of the transcript, named the hisD leader region, displays the typical features of the T-box transcriptional attenuation mechanism. Therefore, expression of the cat reporter gene under the control of the wild-type or mutated hisD leader regions was tested in multi-copy (pProm and pTer series) and in single-copy (pInt series) systems under conditions of sufficient or limited histidine. Our mutational studies led to the conclusion that the CAU histidine specifier and 5′-UGGA-3′ sequence in the hisD leader region are required for the hisDCB–orf1–orf2–hisHA–impA–hisFI gene regulation. The cat gene expression from the wild-type leader region was negatively regulated by histidine. However, the cat gene expression from mutated leader regions was irresponsive to the level of histidine in the growth medium. Taken together, we propose that a T-box mediated attenuation mechanism is responsible for the gene expression of the hisDCB–orf1–orf2–hisHA–impA–hisFI operon in C. glutamicum.

Abstract
The T box mechanism is widely used in Gram-positive bacteria to regulate expression of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase genes and genes involved in amino acid biosynthesis and uptake. Binding of a specific uncharged tRNA to a riboswitch element in the nascent transcript causes a structural change in the transcript that promotes expression of the downstream coding sequence. In most cases, this occurs by stabilization of an antiterminator element that competes with formation of a terminator helix. Specific tRNA recognition by the nascent transcript results in increased expression of genes important for tRNA aminoacylation in response to decreased pools of charged tRNA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND T-box anti-termination is an elegant and sensitive mechanism by which many bacteria maintain constant levels of amino acid-charged tRNAs. The amino acid specificity of the regulatory element is related to a so-called specifier codon and can in principle be used to guide the functional annotation of the genes controlled via the T-box anti-termination mechanism. RESULTS Hidden Markov Models were defined to search the T-box regulatory element and were applied to all completed prokaryotic genomes. The vast majority of the genes found downstream of the retrieved elements encoded functionalities related to transport and synthesis of amino acids and the charging of tRNA. This is completely in line with findings reported in literature and with the proposed biological role of the regulatory element. For several species, the functional annotation of a large number of genes encoding proteins involved in amino acid transport could be improved significantly on basis of the amino acid specificity of the identified T-boxes. In addition, these annotations could be extrapolated to a larger number of orthologous systems in other species. Analysis of T-box distribution confirmed that the element is restricted predominantly to species of the phylum Firmicutes. Furthermore, it appeared that the distribution was highly species specific and that in the case of amino acid transport some boxes seemed to "pop-up" only recently. CONCLUSION We have demonstrated that the identification of the molecular specificity of a regulatory element can be of great help in solving notoriously difficult annotation issues, e.g. by defining the substrate specificity of genes encoding amino acid transporters on basis of the amino acid specificity of the regulatory T-box. Furthermore, our analysis of the species-dependency of the occurrence of specific T-boxes indicated that these regulatory elements propagate in a semi-independent way from the genes that they control.

Abstract
T-box antitermination is one of the main mechanisms of regulation of genes involved in amino acid metabolism in Gram-positive bacteria. T-box regulatory sites consist of conserved sequence and RNA secondary structure elements. Using a set of known T-box sites, we constructed the common pattern and used it to scan available bacterial genomes. New T-boxes were found in various Gram-positive bacteria, some Gram-negative bacteria (delta-proteobacteria), and some other bacterial groups (Deinococcales/Thermales, Chloroflexi, Dictyoglomi). The majority of T-box-regulated genes encode aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Two other groups of T-box-regulated genes are amino acid biosynthetic genes and transporters, as well as genes with unknown function. Analysis of candidate T-box sites resulted in new functional annotations. We assigned the amino acid specificity to a large number of candidate amino acid transporters and a possible function to amino acid biosynthesis genes. We then studied the evolution of the T-boxes. Analysis of the constructed phylogenetic trees demonstrated that in addition to the normal evolution consistent with the evolution of regulated genes, T-boxes may be duplicated, transferred to other genes, and change specificity. We observed several cases of recent T-box regulon expansion following the loss of a previously existing regulatory system, in particular, arginine regulon in Clostridium difficile and methionine regulon in Lactobacillaceae. Finally, we described a new structural class of T-boxes containing duplicated terminator-antiterminator elements and unusual reduced T-boxes regulating initiation of translation in the Actinobacteria.

Abstract
The tryptophan operon of Bacillus subtilis serves as an excellent model for investigating transcription regulation in Gram-positive bacteria. In this article, we extend this knowledge by analyzing the predicted regulatory regions in the trp operons of other fully sequenced Gram-positive bacteria. Interestingly, it appears that in eight of the organisms examined, transcription of the trp operon appears to be regulated by tandem T-box elements. These regulatory elements have recently been described in the trp operons of two bacterial species. Single T-box elements are commonly found in Gram-positive bacteria in operons encoding aminoacyl tRNA synthetases and proteins performing other functions. Different regulatory mechanisms appear to be associated with variations of trp gene organization within the trp operon.

Abstract
The T box system regulates expression of amino acid-related genes in Gram-positive bacteria through premature termination of transcription. Synthesis of the full-length mRNA requires stabilization of an antiterminator element in the 5' untranslated leader RNA by the cognate uncharged tRNA. tRNA(Gly)-dependent antitermination of the Bacillus subtilis glyQS gene (encoding glycyl-tRNA synthetase) can be reproduced in a purified in vitro transcription system, indicating that the nascent transcript is sufficient for interaction with the tRNA. Genetic analyses previously demonstrated base pairing of a single codon in the leader RNA with the tRNA anticodon, and between the antiterminator and the tRNA acceptor end. In this study, we established conditions for specific binding of tRNA(Gly) to glyQS leader RNA generated by phage T7 RNA polymerase. Structural mapping studies revealed tRNA(Gly)-induced protection in the glyQS leader RNA at the two known sites of interaction with the tRNA, as well as at other regions between these sites. The proposed tRNA-dependent structural switch between the competing terminator and antiterminator forms of the leader RNA was demonstrated directly. Changes in tRNA(Gly) upon binding to glyQS leader RNA were detected in the anticodon loop, consistent with pairing with the specifier sequence, and in the highly conserved G19 in the D-loop, similar to effects induced by codon-anticodon interaction in the ribosome. This study provides biochemical evidence for direct interaction of tRNA(Gly) with full-length in vitro transcribed glyQS leader RNA, and an initial view of structural modulations of both RNA partners within the complex.

Abstract
Thiamin and riboflavin are precursors of essential coenzymes-thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN)/flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), respectively. In Bacillus spp, genes responsible for thiamin and riboflavin biosynthesis are organized in tightly controllable operons. Here, we demonstrate that the feedback regulation of riboflavin and thiamin genes relies on a novel transcription attenuation mechanism. A unique feature of this mechanism is the formation of specific complexes between a conserved leader region of the cognate RNA and FMN or TPP. In each case, the complex allows the termination hairpin to form and interrupt transcription prematurely. Thus, sensing small molecules by nascent RNA controls transcription elongation of riboflavin and thiamin operons and possibly other bacterial operons as well.

Abstract
tRNA-mediated transcription antitermination has been shown to control the expression of several amino acid biosynthesis operons and aminoacyl-tRNA-synthetase-encoding genes in Gram-positive bacteria. A model originally put forward by Grundy & Henkin describes the conserved structural features of the leader sequences of these operons and genes. Two sequences of 3 and 4 nt, respectively, take a central position in this model and are thought to be responsible for the binding of the system-specific uncharged tRNA, an interaction which would stabilize the antiterminator conformation of the leader. Here a further evolution of this model is presented based on an analysis of trp regulation in Lactococcus lactis in which a function is assigned to hitherto unexplained conserved structures in the leader sequence. It is postulated that the mRNA-tRNA interaction involves various parts of the tRNA in addition to the anticodon and the acceptor in the original model and that these additional interactions contribute to the recognition of a specific tRNA, and hence to the specificity and efficacy of the regulatory response.

Abstract
In Lactococcus lactis, the his operon contains all the genes necessary for histidine biosynthesis. It is transcribed from a unique promoter, localized 300 bp upstream of the first gene. The region corresponding to the untranslated 5' end of the transcript, named the his leader region, displays the typical features of the T box transcriptional attenuation mechanism which is involved in the regulation of many amino acid biosynthetic operons and tRNA synthetase genes in gram-positive bacteria. Here we describe the regulation of transcription of the his operon by the level of histidine in the growth medium. In the absence of histidine, two transcripts are present. One covers the entire operon, while the other stops at a terminator situated about 250 bp downstream of the transcription start point. DNA sequences implicated in regulation of the his operon were identified by transcriptional fusion with luciferase genes and site-directed mutagenesis. In addition to the previously defined sequences necessary for effective T-box-mediated regulation, new essential regions were identified. Eighteen percent of the positions of the his leader region were found to differ in seven distantly related strains of L. lactis. Analysis of the variable positions supports the folding model of the central part of the his leader region. Lastly, in addition to the T-box-mediated regulation, the operon is regulated at the level of initiation of transcription, which is repressed in the presence of histidine. An operator site, necessary for full repression, overlaps the terminator involved in the T box attenuation mechanism. The functionality of the operator is altered on plasmids with low and high copy numbers, suggesting that supercoiling may play a role in the expression of the his operon. The extents of regulation at the levels of initiation and attenuation of transcription are 6- to 8-fold and 14-fold, respectively. Together, the two levels of control allow a 120-fold range of regulation of the L. lactis operon by histidine.

Abstract
The regulatory functions of the leader region preceding the Lactococcus lactis trp operon have been studied by mutagenesis analysis. This leader presents striking similarity to 'T-box' leaders found upstream of many Gram-positive aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase genes and some amino acid biosynthesis operons, which are controlled by antitermination through interaction of the leader transcript with cognate uncharged tRNA. A region of the L. lactis leader transcript also contains a series of (G/U) AG repeats which, in Bacillus, are involved in the binding of the trp RNA-binding protein (TRAP) which controls trp transcription. A screen was developed for the isolation of regulatory mutants affected in the leader region. All spontaneous mutants contained deletions; point mutations were only obtained after UV-induced mutagenesis. All mutations affected the putative transcription terminator upstream of the trp operon, demonstrating that trp is indeed controlled by transcription antitermination.
