RNA LEGO: magnesium-dependent assembly of RNA building blocks through loop-loop interactions.
We describe the construction of nano-molecular assemblies using RNA building blocks the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) dimerization initiation site (DIS) RNA, that forms stable base pairing through a magnesium-dependent loop-loop interaction ("kissing"). RNA building blocks containing two DIS or DIS-like hairpins connected by a two nucleotide linker self-assembled to form specific ...
متن کاملPredicting structure and stability for RNA complexes with intermolecular loop-loop base-pairing.
RNA loop-loop interactions are essential for genomic RNA dimerization and regulation of gene expression. In this article, a statistical mechanics-based computational method that predicts the structures and thermodynamic stabilities of RNA complexes with loop-loop kissing interactions is described. The method accounts for the entropy changes for the formation of loop-loop interactions, which is ...
متن کاملStabilities of HIV-1 DIS type RNA loop–loop interactions in vitro and in vivo
RNA loop-loop interactions are a prevalent motif in the formation of tertiary structure and are well suited to trigger molecular recognition between RNA molecules. We determined the stabilities of several loop-loop interactions with a constant 6 bp core sequence and varying unpaired flanking nucleotides and found that the flanking bases have a strong influence on the stability and ion dependenc...
متن کاملComparing outcomes of reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament rupture with fixed loop and adjustable loop
Background: Recently, the surgical methods are used in patients with anterior cruciate ligament rupture and have been associated with successful results. There are different results in the term of using of the surgical methods for anterior cruciate ligament that often is associated with some complications such as infection, static laxity, remaining the pain, need to recurrence surgery, and limi...
متن کاملThe solution structure of an RNA loop-loop complex: the ColE1 inverted loop sequence.
BACKGROUND Replication of the ColE1 plasmid of Escherichia coli is regulated by the interaction of sense and antisense plasmid-encoded transcripts. The antisense RNA I negatively regulates the replication of the plasmid by duplex formation with complementary RNA II. The interaction is initiated by the formation of a double helix between seven-nucleotide loops from each RNA and is stabilized by ...
