Structures and Functions of the 3′ Untranslated Regions of Positive-Sense Single-Stranded RNA Viruses Infecting Humans and Animals [PDF]
The 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR) of positive-sense single-stranded RNA [ssRNA(+)] viruses is highly structured. Multiple elements in the region interact with other nucleotides and proteins of viral and cellular origin to regulate various aspects of ...

Properties of untranslated regions of the
Background During evolution selection forces such as changing environments shape the architecture of genomes. The distribution of genes along chromosomes and the length of intragenic regions are basic genomic features known to play a major role in the ...

Detection of Differentially Expressed Cleavage Site Intervals Within 3′ Untranslated Regions Using CSI-UTR Reveals Regulated Interaction Motifs [PDF]
The length of untranslated regions at the 3′ end of transcripts (3′UTRs) is regulated by alternate polyadenylation (APA). 3′UTRs contain regions that harbor binding motifs for regulatory molecules. However, the mechanisms that coordinate the 3′UTR length

Toward a systematic understanding of mRNA 3' untranslated regions. [PDF]
Abstract Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) contain prominent untranslated regions (UTRs) that are increasingly recognized to play roles in mRNA processing, transport, stability, and translation. 3′ UTRs are believed to harbor recognition sites for a diverse set of RNA-binding proteins that regulate gene expression as well as most active microRNA

3' Untranslated regions mediate transcriptional interference between convergent genes both locally and ectopically in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]
Paired sense and antisense (S/AS) genes located in cis represent a structural feature common to the genomes of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and produce partially complementary transcripts.

Predicting the Genes Regulated by MicroRNAs via Binding Sites in the 3' Untranslated and Coding Regions [PDF]
MicroRNAs form one of the groups of small noncoding RNA molecules that have completely changed our understanding of gene regulatory networks. Because microRNAs have been discovered only relatively recently, most of their functions remain unknown,

The Roles of Picornavirus Untranslated Regions in Infection and Innate Immunity
Viral genomes have evolved to maximize their potential of overcoming host defense mechanisms and to induce a variety of disease syndromes. Structurally, a genome of a virus consists of coding and noncoding regions, and both have been shown to contribute ...

Translational control of mRNAs by 3'-Untranslated region binding proteins [PDF]
Eukaryotic gene expression is precisely regulated at all points between transcription and translation. In this review, we focus on translational control mediated by the 3'-untranslated regions (UTRs) of mRNAs. mRNA 3'-UTRs contain cis-acting elements that function in the regulation of protein translation or mRNA decay.
