Cooperative Tertiary Interaction Network Guides RNA Folding
Noncoding RNAs form unique 3D structures, which perform many regulatory functions. To understand how RNAs fold uniquely despite a small number of tertiary interaction motifs, we mutated the major tertiary interactions in a group I ribozyme by single-base substitutions. The resulting perturbations to the folding energy landscape were measured using SAXS, ribozyme activity, hydroxyl radical footp...
متن کاملMg2+-RNA interaction free energies and their relationship to the folding of RNA tertiary structures.
Mg2+ ions are very effective at stabilizing tertiary structures in RNAs. In most cases, folding of an RNA is so strongly coupled to its interactions with Mg2+ that it is difficult to separate free energies of Mg2+-RNA interactions from the intrinsic free energy of RNA folding. To devise quantitative models accounting for this phenomenon of Mg2+-induced RNA folding, it is necessary to independen...
متن کاملTertiary Motifs in RNA Structure and Folding.
Specific tertiary structural motifs determine the complete architecture of RNA molecules (see picture for examples). Within the last few years a number of high-resolution crystal structures of complex RNAs have led to new insights into the mechanisms by which these complex folds are attained. In this review the structures of these tertiary motifs and how they influence the folding pathway of bi...
متن کاملPausing guides RNA folding to populate transiently stable RNA structures for riboswitch-based transcription regulation
In bacteria, the regulation of gene expression by cis-acting transcriptional riboswitches located in the 5'-untranslated regions of messenger RNA requires the temporal synchronization of RNA synthesis and ligand binding-dependent conformational refolding. Ligand binding to the aptamer domain of the riboswitch induces premature termination of the mRNA synthesis of ligand-associated genes due to ...
متن کاملRNA Folding and Interaction Prediction: A Survey
The problem of computationally predicting the structure of a single folding RNA has been studied extensively since the 70’s, while the prediction of the structure of two interacting RNAs has received considerable attention in the past ten years. Despite this, there is considerable room for improvement in the accuracy of these algorithms. In addition, recently there has been a focus on predictin...
