Regulating the activity of RNA molecules

Messenger RNA molecules contain genetic information and thus control the synthesis of proteins in living cells. Biochemists have now discovered a way to regulate this process which is central to gene expression: Certain actinobacteria contain a protein that binds RNA molecules under blue light and can thereby deactivate them. In principle, it is thus possible to switch RNA-controlled protein synthesis on and off via light.
