Small molecules can be imaged in living cells using biosensors composed of RNA. However, RNA-based devices are difficult to design. Here we describe a versatile platform for designing RNA-based fluorescent small molecule sensors using naturally occurring highly stable three-way junction RNAs. We show that ligand-binding aptamers and fluorogenic aptamers can be inserted into three-way junctions, and connected in a way that enables the three-way junction to function as a small molecule-regulated fluorescent sensor in vitro and in cells. The sensors are designed so that the inter-helical stabilizing interactions in the three-way junction are only induced upon ligand binding. We use these RNA-based devices to measure the dynamics of S-adenosylmethionine levels in mammalian cells in real time. We show that this strategy is compatible with diverse metabolite-binding RNA aptamers, fluorogenic aptamers, and three-way junctions. Overall, these data demonstrate a versatile method for readily generating RNA-devices that function in living cells. Genetically encoded RNA biosensors are an emerging tool for imaging small-molecule metabolites in cells. In this manuscript, Moon et. al. describe a versatile method for developing RNA biosensors by connecting fluorogenic RNA aptamers and metabolite-binding aptamers via reengineered, naturally occurring RNA three-way junctions.
