Inferring Phylogenetically Conserved Motifs
The regulation of gene expression is a crucial biological process by which genes are turned on or off in the cell. Motifs are short sequence segments which occur in the genome are an important component of this process. Motifs which regulate gene expression are perhaps the second most sought after annotation from a newly sequenced genome after the identification of the protein-coding genes. A v...
متن کاملA phylogenetically conserved hairpin-type 3' untranslated region pseudoknot functions in coronavirus RNA replication.
Secondary and tertiary structures in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of plus-strand RNA viruses have been postulated to function as control elements in RNA replication, transcription, and translation. Here we describe a 54-nucleotide (nt) hairpin-type pseudoknot within the 288-nt 3' UTR of the bovine coronavirus genome and show by mutational analysis of both stems that the pseudoknotted struct...
متن کاملA Conserved Stem Loop Motif in the 5′Untranslated Region Regulates Transforming Growth Factor-β1 Translation
Transforming growth factor-β(1) (TGF-β(1)) regulates cellular proliferation, differentiation, migration, and survival. The human TGF-β(1) transcript is inherently poorly translated, and translational activation has been documented in relation to several stimuli. In this paper, we have sought to identify in cis regulatory elements within the TGF-β(1) 5'Untranslated Region (5'UTR). In silico anal...
متن کاملPhylogenetically conserved binding of specific K homology domain proteins to the 3'-untranslated region of the vertebrate middle neurofilament mRNA.
As axons mature, neurofilament-M (NF-M) expression rises, contributing to maturation of the axonal cytoskeleton and an expansion in axon caliber. This increase is partly due to a rise in NF-M mRNA stability. Such post-transcriptional regulation is often mediated through the binding of specific proteins to the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of mRNAs. Vertebrate NF-M 3'-UTRs are remarkably well ...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle actin mRNA. Characterization of the 3' untranslated region.
Plasmids p749, p106, and p150 contain cDNA inserts complementary to rat skeletal muscle actin mRNA. Nucleotide sequence analysis indicates the following sequence relationships: p749 specifies codons 171 to 360; p150 specifies codons 357 to 374 together with 120 nucleotides of the 3'-non-translated region; p106 specifies the last actin amino acid codon, the termination codon and the entire 3' no...
