Guanidine aptamers are present in vertebrate RNAs associated with calcium signaling and neuromuscular function by Kumari Kavita, Aya Narunsky, Jessica J. Mohsen, Isha Mahadeshwar, Michael G. Mohsen, Yu-Shin Chang, Ronald R. Breaker

“…Here, we report the discovery and biochemical validation of vertebrate members of guanidine-I and -II riboswitch aptamer classes that are associated with numerous genes relevant to neuromuscular function, mostly involved in Ca2+ transport or signaling. These findings suggest that guanidine is a widely used signaling molecule that serves as an additional layer of regulation of genes relevant to neuromuscular disorders.…”
