Structure and folding of the Tetrahymena telomerase RNA pseudoknot
Telomerase maintains telomere length at the ends of linear chromosomes using an integral telomerase RNA (TER) and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). An essential part of TER is the template/pseudoknot domain (t/PK) which includes the template, for adding telomeric repeats, template boundary element (TBE), and pseudoknot, enclosed in a circle by stem 1. The Tetrahymena telomerase holoenzym...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of the pseudoknot structure in human telomerase RNA.
Telomerase is essential for maintaining telomere length and chromosome stability in stem cells, germline cells, and cancer cells. The telomerase ribonucleoprotein complex consists of two essential components, a catalytic protein component and an RNA molecule that provides the template for telomeric repeat synthesis. A pseudoknot structure in the human telomerase RNA is conserved in all vertebra...
متن کاملStructural Alignment of RNA with Complex Pseudoknot Structure
The secondary structure of an ncRNA molecule is known to play an important role in its biological functions. Aligning a known ncRNA to a target candidate to determine the sequence and structural similarity helps in identifying de novo ncRNA molecules that are in the same family of the known ncRNA. However, existing algorithms cannot handle complex pseudoknot structures which are found in nature...
متن کاملCanonical RNA Pseudoknot Structures
In this paper, we study k-noncrossing, sigma-canonical RNA pseudoknot structures with minimum arc-length greater or equal to four. Let T(k, sigma)([4])(n) denote the number of these structures. We derive exact enumeration results by computing the generating function T(k, sigma)([4])(z) = summation operator(n) T(k, sigma)([4])(n)z(n) and derive the asymptotic formulas T(k, 3)([4])(n) approximate...
متن کاملRNA-LEGO: Combinatorial Design of Pseudoknot RNA
In this paper we enumerate k-noncrossing RNA pseudoknot structures with given minimum stack-length. We show that the numbers of k-noncrossing structures without isolated base pairs are significantly smaller than the number of all k-noncrossing structures. In particular we prove that the number of 3and 4-noncrossing RNA structures with stack-length ≥ 2 is for large n given by 311.2470 4! n(n−1)....
