Potential secondary structure at translation-initiation sites.
Since translational start codons also occur internally, more-complex features within mRNA must determine initiation. We compare the potential secondary structure of 123 prokaryotic mRNA start regions to that of regions coding for internal methionines. The latter display an unexpectedly-uniform, almost-periodic pattern of pairing potential. In contrast, sequences 5' to start codons have little s...
متن کاملThe mRNA landscape at yeast translation initiation sites
SUMMARY Although translation initiation has been well studied, many questions remain in elucidating its mechanisms. An ongoing challenge is to understand how ribosomes choose a translation initiation site (TIS). To gain new insights, we analyzed large sets of TISs with the aim of identifying common characteristics that are potentially of functional importance. Nucleotide sequence context has pr...
متن کاملTechniques for Recognition of Translation Initiation Sites
Correct prediction of the translation initiation site is an important issue in genomic research. In this chapter, an in-depth survey of half a dozen methods for computational recognization of translation initiation sites from mRNA, cDNA, and genomic DNA sequences are given. These methods span two decades of research on this topic, from the perceptron of Stormo et al. in 1982 to the systematic m...
متن کاملDNA Secondary Structure at Chromosomal Fragile Sites in Human Disease
DNA has the ability to form a variety of secondary structures that can interfere with normal cellular processes, and many of these structures have been associated with neurological diseases and cancer. Secondary structure-forming sequences are often found at chromosomal fragile sites, which are hotspots for sister chromatid exchange, chromosomal translocations, and deletions. Structures formed ...
متن کاملIn vitro secondary structure analysis of mRNA from lacZ translation initiation mutants.
mRNA secondary structure can be an important determinant of the efficiency of translation initiation. To study the effect of secondary structure on translation initiation, in vitro secondary structure analysis was performed on 32 lacZ RNA transcripts that differ in their in vivo translation initiation efficiencies because of mutations. We have shown that well-translated RNA has a relatively uns...
