RNA chaperones and the RNA folding problem.
Functional and structural inter-relationships of RNA and proteins in the execution and control of biological processes such as RNA processing, RNA splicing, and translation are increasingly apparent. In this minireview, I present an RNA chaperone hypothesis, which fosters the view that constraints imposed by fundamental problems in the folding of RNA have profoundly influenced the nature of RNA...
متن کاملThe RNA Folding Problem
Because the chemical and biological properties of many RNAs are determined by their conformations, an RNA equivalent exists to the protein folding problem. The RNA folding problem has both a practical side and an academic side. If the practical problem were solved, it would be possible to predict the conformations of RNAs of known sequence. The academic problem has to do with determining what h...
متن کاملIcosahedral packing of RNA viral genomes.
Many spherelike RNA viruses package a portion of their genome in a manner that mirrors the icosahedral symmetry of the protein container, or capsid. Graph-theoretical constraints forbid exact realization of icosahedral symmetry. This paper explores the consequences of graph-theoretical constraints on quasi-icosahedral genome structures. A key result is the prediction that the genome organizatio...
متن کاملN6-Methyladenosine in Flaviviridae Viral RNA Genomes Regulates Infection
The RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) post-transcriptionally regulates RNA function. The cellular machinery that controls m6A includes methyltransferases and demethylases that add or remove this modification, as well as m6A-binding YTHDF proteins that promote the translation or degradation of m6A-modified mRNA. We demonstrate that m6A modulates infection by hepatitis C virus (HCV). Depl...
متن کاملLynx: A Programmatic SAT Solver for the RNA-Folding Problem
This paper introduces Lynx, an incremental programmatic SAT solver that allows non-expert users to easily introduce domain-specific code into modern Conflict-driven Clauselearning (CDCL) SAT solvers, thus enabling users to control the behavior of the solver in ways not possible otherwise. The key idea of Lynx is an easy-to-use callback interface that enables non-expert users to specialize the S...
