چکیده

We have developed the hyperprocessing technique to evaluate the stability of the cloverleaf shape of pre-transfer RNA (pre-tRNA). Application of this strategy to hyperprocessible human tyrosine pre-tRNA indicated that the natural intron sequence did not contribute to stabilization of the cloverleaf shape of this pre-tRNA, while the artificial intron with elongated anticodon-stem completely inhibited hyperprocessing of it. Our data suggested that the contemporary intron sequence may be a vestige of the ancient pre-biotic world, but not has been retained as a temporal stabilizer of the pre-tRNA before the base modifications.

Relation Between RNA Sequences, Structures, and Shapes via Variation Networks

Background: RNA plays key role in many aspects of biological processes and its tertiary structure is critical for its biological function. RNA secondary structure represents various significant portions of RNA tertiary structure. Since the biological function of RNA is concluded indirectly from its primary structure, it would be important to analyze the relations between the RNA sequences and t...

Identified Hybrid tRNA Structure Genes in Archaeal Genome

Background: In Archaea, previous studies have revealed the presence of multiple intron-containing tRNAs and split tRNAs. The full unexpurgated analysis of archaeal tRNA genes remains a challenging task in the field of bioinformatics, because of the presence of various types of hidden tRNA genes in archaea. Here, we suggested a computational method that searched for widely separ...

Sequence of an oligonucleotide derived from the 3' end of each of the four brome mosaic viral RNAs.

A 3'-terminal oligonucleotide fragment, 161 bases long, can be obtained from each of the four brome mosaic virus RNAs by means of nuclease digestion. Like the four intact brome mosaic virus RNAs, each fragment accepts tyrosine in a reaction catalyzed by wheat germ aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. The complete nucleotide sequence of the RNA 4 fragment has been determined by use of standard radiochemic...

Comparative bioinformatics analysis of a wild diploid Gossypium with two cultivated allotetraploid species

Background: Gossypium thurberi is a wild diploid species that has been used to improve cultivated allotetraploid cotton. G. thurberi belongs to D genome, which is an important wild bio-source for the cotton breeding and genetic research. To a certain degree, chloroplast DNA sequence information are a versatile tool for species identification and phylogenetic implications in plants. Different ch...

Phylogenetic Analysis of Three Long Non-coding RNA Genes: AK082072, AK043754 and AK082467

Now, it is clear that protein is just one of the most functional products produced by the eukaryotic genome. Indeed, a major part of the human genome is transcribed to non-coding sequences than to the coding sequence of the protein. In this study, we selected three long non-coding RNAs namely AK082072, AK043754 and AK082467 which show brain expression and local region conservation among vertebr...
