Which of the following regarding riboswitches is correct?
A) They can use repressors to bind to DNA sequences called operators.
B) Low concentrations of a small regulatory molecule can cause cleavage of the mRNA.
C) The binding of small regulatory molecules can generate Shine- Dalgarno sequester stem loops that lead to increased translation.
D) The binding of small regulatory molecules can generate termination stem loops that lead to increased transcription.
E) They can regulate bacterial transcription, translation, and mRNA stability.
