RNA folding pathways in stop motion
We introduce a method for predicting RNA folding pathways, with an application to the most important RNA tetraloops. The method is based on the idea that ensembles of three-dimensional fragments extracted from high-resolution crystal structures are heterogeneous enough to describe metastable as well as intermediate states. These ensembles are first validated by performing a quantitative compari...
متن کاملComputing folding pathways between RNA secondary structures
Given an RNA sequence and two designated secondary structures A, B, we describe a new algorithm that computes a nearly optimal folding pathway from A to B. The algorithm, RNAtabupath, employs a tabu semi-greedy heuristic, known to be an effective search strategy in combinatorial optimization. Folding pathways, sometimes called routes or trajectories, are computed by RNAtabupath in a fraction of...
متن کاملRNA fingerprinting by molecular indexing.
Class IIS restriction enzymes, a subgroup of class II, cleave DNA at a precise location outside their recognition sites, and produce overhangs of unknown sequences (1). Molecular indexing is a series of techniques designed to characterize DNA fragments by these unknown sequences (2–4). I applied this principle for description of the total mRNA population using a 3′ end cDNA fragment generated b...
متن کاملEnhancement of RNA Interference Effect in P19 EC Cells by an RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase
Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to specifically inhibit gene expression. The non-specific silencing caused by interferon response to dsRNA in mammalian cells limits the potential of utilizing RNAi to study gene function. Duplexes of 21-nucleotide short interfering dsRNA (siRNA) inhibit gene expression by RNAi. In some organisms, siRNA can als...
متن کاملMechanically probing the folding pathway of single RNA molecules.
We study theoretically the denaturation of single RNA molecules by mechanical stretching, focusing on signatures of the (un)folding pathway in molecular fluctuations. Our model describes the interactions between nucleotides by incorporating the experimentally determined free energy rules for RNA secondary structure, whereas exterior single-stranded regions are modeled as freely jointed chains. ...
