mRNA pseudoknot structures can act as ribosomal roadblocks
Several viruses utilize programmed ribosomal frameshifting mediated by mRNA pseudoknots in combination with a slippery sequence to produce a well defined stochiometric ratio of the upstream encoded to the downstream-encoded protein. A correlation between the mechanical strength of mRNA pseudoknots and frameshifting efficiency has previously been found; however, the physical mechanism behind fra...
متن کاملStem–loop structures can effectively substitute for an RNA pseudoknot in −1 ribosomal frameshifting
-1 Programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) in synthesizing the gag-pro precursor polyprotein of Simian retrovirus type-1 (SRV-1) is stimulated by a classical H-type pseudoknot which forms an extended triple helix involving base-base and base-sugar interactions between loop and stem nucleotides. Recently, we showed that mutation of bases involved in triple helix formation affected frameshifting...
متن کاملNuclear Roadblocks for mRNA Export
The THO complex and Sub2 RNA helicase have been shown to function in both transcription and mRNA processing. Rougemaille et al. (2008) now uncover evidence that THO/Sub2 coordinates mRNA processing and nuclear export.
متن کاملCanonical RNA Pseudoknot Structures
In this paper, we study k-noncrossing, sigma-canonical RNA pseudoknot structures with minimum arc-length greater or equal to four. Let T(k, sigma)([4])(n) denote the number of these structures. We derive exact enumeration results by computing the generating function T(k, sigma)([4])(z) = summation operator(n) T(k, sigma)([4])(n)z(n) and derive the asymptotic formulas T(k, 3)([4])(n) approximate...
متن کاملShapes of RNA Pseudoknot Structures
In this article, we study abstract shapes of k-noncrossing, σ-canonical RNA pseudoknot structures. We consider lv1k- and lv5k-shapes, which represent a generalization of the abstract π'- and π-shapes of RNA secondary structures introduced by Giegerich et al. Using a novel approach, we compute the generating functions of lv1k- and lv5k-shapes as well as the generating functions of all lv1k- and ...
