Substrate induced activation in the conserved ribonuclease YicC

Kai Katsuya-Gaviria, Giulia Paris, Ben F. Luisi, Aleksei Lulla

The paper shows YicC, an RNA enzyme, preferentially cleaves specific sRNAs when they are in active, target-engaged structures, revealing a mechanism for substrate-induced conformational changes.
