Codon Optimality Is a Major Determinant of mRNA Stability
mRNA degradation represents a critical regulated step in gene expression. Although the major pathways in turnover have been identified, accounting for disparate half-lives has been elusive. We show that codon optimality is one feature that contributes greatly to mRNA stability. Genome-wide RNA decay analysis revealed that stable mRNAs are enriched in codons designated optimal, whereas unstable ...
متن کاملMean curvature as a major determinant of ß-sheet propensity
MOTIVATION Despite the importance of beta-sheets as building blocks in proteins and also toxic elements in the pathological disorders, ranging from Alzheimer's disease to mad cow disease, the principles underlying their stability are not well understood. Non-random beta-sheet propensities of amino acids have been revealed both by their distinct statistical preferences within known protein struc...
متن کاملStability of single and double layer fibrillar amyloid-β oligomers
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia world-wide. The causative agent in this protein misfolding disease is the 39 to 42-residues long amyloid-b (Ab) peptide, that aggregates into oligomers, filaments, and fibrils found in plaque deposits in the brain of AD patients [1]. Up to now a viable cure for this disease is still not available. One reason for this is Ab’s conformat...
متن کاملAnalytical Solution of The Laminar Boundary Layer Flow over Semi-Infinite Flat Plate: Variable Surface Temperature
In this paper, the problem of forced convection over a horizontal flat plate under condition of variable plate temperature is presented and the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is employed to compute an approximation to the solution of the system of nonlinear differential equations governing the problem. This paper provides good supplements to the existing literature and generalizes the previ...
متن کاملHydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds in β-sheet formation.
In this study, we investigate interactions of extended conformations of homodimeric peptides made of small (glycine or alanine) and large hydrophobic (valine or leucine) sidechains using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to decipher driving forces for β-sheet formation. We make use of a periodic boundary condition setup in which individual peptides are infinitely long and stretched. Dimer...
