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 کاملRNA chaperones, RNA annealers and RNA helicases.
RNA molecules face difficulties when folding into their native structures. In the cell, proteins can assist RNAs in reaching their functionally active states by binding and stabilizing a specific structure or, in a quite opposite way, by interacting in a non-specific manner. These proteins can either facilitate RNA-RNA interactions in a reaction termed RNA annealing, or they can resolve non-fun...
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...
متن کاملTransient RNA–protein interactions in RNA folding
The RNA folding trajectory features numerous off-pathway folding traps, which represent conformations that are often equally as stable as the native functional ones. Therefore, the conversion between these off-pathway structures and the native correctly folded ones is the critical step in RNA folding. This process, referred to as RNA refolding, is slow, and is represented by a transition state ...
