Enumerating secondary structures and structural moieties for circular RNAs.
A quantitative characterization of the relationship between molecular sequence and structure is essential to improve our understanding of how function emerges. This particular genotype-phenotype map has been often studied in the context of RNA sequences, with the folded configurations standing as a proxy for the phenotype. Here, we count the secondary structures of circular RNAs of length n and...
متن کاملPre-mRNA Secondary Structures Influence Exon Recognition
The secondary structure of a pre-mRNA influences a number of processing steps including alternative splicing. Since most splicing regulatory proteins bind to single-stranded RNA, the sequestration of RNA into double strands could prevent their binding. Here, we analyzed the secondary structure context of experimentally determined splicing enhancer and silencer motifs in their natural pre-mRNA c...
متن کاملPre-mRNA splicing: from protein-coding to noncoding RNAs.
Since I started in the pre-mRNA splicing field about three decades ago, I will beginn my little historical recollection at a somewhat earlier time than when the RNA journal started. To keep this somehow organized, I will summarize in decades, starting with the 1980s. What were significant changes in the RNA field over the past few decades? All of that from a very personal perspective. My own re...
متن کاملSplicing of a circular yeast pre-mRNA in vitro.
We have tested the fate of a circularized synthetic pre-mRNA transcript in a whole cell splicing extract of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Our results demonstrate that this circular precursor RNA is able to induce spliceosome formation in vitro and that the products of the following splicing reaction are the lariat-shaped intron, and a mature circular mRNA. Thus, it would appear that free 5' and/or ...
متن کاملCharacterization of RNase R-digested cellular RNA source that consists of lariat and circular RNAs from pre-mRNA splicing
Besides linear RNAs, pre-mRNA splicing generates three forms of RNAs: lariat introns, Y-structure introns from trans-splicing, and circular exons through exon skipping. To study the persistence of excised introns in total cellular RNA, we used three Escherichia coli 3' to 5' exoribonucleases. Ribonuclease R (RNase R) thoroughly degrades the abundant linear RNAs and the Y-structure RNA, while pr...
