Secondary Structure of Vertebrate Telomerase RNA
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme that maintains telomere length by adding telomeric sequence repeats onto chromosome ends. The essential RNA component of telomerase provides the template for telomeric repeat synthesis. To determine the secondary structure of vertebrate telomerase RNA, 32 new telomerase RNA genes were cloned and sequenced from a variety of vertebrate species including 18...
متن کاملA Phylogenetically Based Secondary Structure for the Yeast Telomerase RNA
BACKGROUND Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein complex whose RNA moiety dictates the addition of specific simple sequences onto chromosomes ends. While relevant for certain human genetic diseases, the contribution of the essential telomerase RNA to RNP assembly still remains unclear. Phylogenetic analyses of vertebrate and ciliate telomerase RNAs revealed conserved elements that potentially organ...
متن کاملRNA secondary structure design.
We consider the inverse-folding problem for RNA secondary structures: for a given (pseudo-knot-free) secondary structure we want to find a sequence that has a certain structure as its ground state. If such a sequence exists, the structure is called designable. We have implemented a branch-and-bound algorithm that is able to do an exhaustive search within the sequence space, i.e., gives an exact...
متن کاملRNA Secondary Structure Prediction.
In this unit, protocols are provided for predicting RNA secondary structure with the user-friendly RNAstructure desktop computer program and the RNAstructure Web server. The minimum free energy structure and a set of suboptimal structures with similar free energies are predicted. Prediction of high-affinity oligonucleotide binding sites to a structured RNA target is also presented. © 2016 by Jo...
متن کاملRna Secondary Structure Prediction
Understanding secondary structures of RNAs helps to determine their chemical and biological properties. Only a small number of RNA structures have been determined currently since such structure determination experiments are timeconsuming and expensive. As a result, scientists start to rely on RNA secondary structure prediction. Unlike protein structure prediction, predicting RNA secondary struc...
