Caption

Modular structure of 4.5SH RNA. The sensor module (target binding via base-pairing) recognizes and binds to abnormal sequences. The effector binding module brings in molecules that modulate alternative splicing to prevent incorporation of abnormal sequences in mRNA. (Illustration: Shinichi Nakagawa)
