Base pair probability estimates improve the prediction accuracy of RNA non-canonical base pairs
Prediction of RNA tertiary structure from sequence is an important problem, but generating accurate structure models for even short sequences remains difficult. Predictions of RNA tertiary structure tend to be least accurate in loop regions, where non-canonical pairs are important for determining the details of structure. Non-canonical pairs can be predicted using a knowledge-based model of str...
متن کاملDatabase of non-canonical base pairs found in known RNA structures
Atomic resolution RNA structures are being published at an increasing rate. It is common to find a modest number of non-canonical base pairs in these structures in addition to the usual Watson-Crick pairs. This database summarizes the occurrence of these rare base pairs in accordance with standard nomenclature. The database, http://prion.bchs.uh.edu/, contains information such as sequence conte...
متن کاملNon-Watson-Crick base pairs in RNA-protein recognition.
The cellular functions of most RNA molecules involve protein binding, and non-Watson-Crick base pairs are hallmark sites for interactions with proteins. The determination of three-dimensional structures of RNA-peptide and RNA-protein complexes reveals the molecular basis of non-Watson-Crick base-pair recognition.
متن کاملFrequency and isostericity of RNA base pairs
Most of the hairpin, internal and junction loops that appear single-stranded in standard RNA secondary structures form recurrent 3D motifs, where non-Watson-Crick base pairs play a central role. Non-Watson-Crick base pairs also play crucial roles in tertiary contacts in structured RNA molecules. We previously classified RNA base pairs geometrically so as to group together those base pairs that ...
متن کاملTesting the Nearest Neighbor Model for Canonical RNA Base Pairs: Revision of GU Parameters
Thermodynamic parameters for GU pairs are important for predicting the secondary structures of RNA and for finding genomic sequences that code for structured RNA. Optical melting curves were measured for 29 RNA duplexes with GU pairs to improve nearest neighbor parameters for predicting stabilities of helixes. The updated model eliminates a prior penalty assumed for terminal GU pairs. Six addit...
