Visualizing the ai5γ group IIB intron
It has become apparent that much of cellular metabolism is controlled by large well-folded noncoding RNA molecules. In addition to crystallographic approaches, computational methods are needed for visualizing the 3D structure of large RNAs. Here, we modeled the molecular structure of the ai5γ group IIB intron from yeast using the crystal structure of a bacterial group IIC homolog. This was acco...
متن کاملDual roles for the Mss116 cofactor during splicing of the ai5γ group II intron
The autocatalytic group II intron ai5γ from Saccharomyces cerevisiae self-splices under high-salt conditions in vitro, but requires the assistance of the DEAD-box protein Mss116 in vivo and under near-physiological conditions in vitro. Here, we show that Mss116 influences the folding mechanism in several ways. By comparing intron precursor RNAs with long (∼300 nt) and short (∼20 nt) exons, we o...
متن کاملVisualizing Group II Intron Catalysis through the Stages of Splicing
Group II introns are self-splicing ribozymes that share a reaction mechanism and a common ancestor with the eukaryotic spliceosome, thereby providing a model system for understanding the chemistry of pre-mRNA splicing. Here we report 14 crystal structures of a group II intron at different stages of catalysis. We provide a detailed mechanism for the first step of splicing, we describe a reversib...
متن کاملA group I intron riboswitch.
Riboswitches are mRNA-based elements that regulate gene expression via binding of a specific ligand. Breaker and coworkers have now discovered a novel type of regulatory RNA motif that acts by c-di-GMP-dependent control of a self-splicing group I intron ribozyme (Lee et al., 2010).
متن کاملVisualizing Group Structure
Cluster analysis is a fundamental principle in exploratory data analysis, providing the user with a description of the group structure of given data. A key problem in this context is the interpretation and visualization of clustering solutions in highdimensional or abstract data spaces. In particular, probabilistic descriptions of the group structure, essential to capture inter-cluster relation...
