Prediction of RNA Secondary Structure Including Kissing Hairpin Motifs
We present three heuristic strategies for folding RNA sequences into secondary structures including kissing hairpin motifs. The new idea is to construct a kissing hairpin motif from an overlay of two simple canonical pseudoknots. The difficulty is that the overlay does not satisfy Bellman’s Principle of Optimality, and the kissing hairpin cannot simply be built from optimal pseudoknots. Our str...
متن کاملSolution structure and functional importance of a conserved RNA hairpin of eel LINE UnaL2
The eel long interspersed element (LINE) UnaL2 and its partner short interspersed element (SINE) share a conserved 3' tail that is critical for their retrotransposition. The predicted secondary structure of the conserved 3' tail of UnaL2 RNA contains a stem region with a putative internal loop. Deletion of the putative internal loop region abolishes UnaL2 mobilization, indicating that this puta...
متن کاملPrimary and secondary structure of dinoflagellate U5 small nuclear RNA.
U5 RNA is one of the six capped small nuclear RNAs present in most eukaryotic cells. Like U1, U2, U4 and U6 RNAs, U5 RNA is associated with hnRNP particles and is thus probably involved in some, as yet undefined, aspects of pre-messenger RNA processing. In this study, the complete nucleotide sequence of U5 RNA of a dinoflagellate, Crypthecodinium cohnii was determined. The analysis of this dino...
متن کاملPrimary and hypothetical secondary structure of Drosophila melanogaster U6 RNA.
A comparison of the nucleotide sequence of Drosophila U6 RNA with that of rat (6) reveals a homology of 90.7%. Of the 10 differences, 4 represent sugar and base modifications (positions 64, 69, 71, 73) while 6 are nucleotide replacements (positions 4, 6,18,65,86,102). Multiple alignements show that the nucleotide sequences of broad bean (7) and Physarum polycephalum U6 snRNA (8) have much weake...
متن کاملPrimary and secondary structure of rat 28 S ribosomal RNA.
The primary structure of rat (Rattus norvegicus) 28 S rRNA is determined inferred from the sequence of cloned rDNA fragments. The rat 28 S rRNA contains 4802 nucleotides and has an estimated relative molecular mass (Mr, Na-salt) of 1.66 X 10(6). Several regions of high sequence homology with S. cerevisiae 25 S rRNA are present. These regions can be folded in characteristic base-paired structure...
