Interconnections between m 6 A RNA modification, RNA structure, and protein–RNA complex assembly

open access: yesLife Science Alliance
This review summarizes current knowledge and future directions on the mechanisms that govern the interplay between m 6 A RNA modification, RNA folding, and protein–RNA interactions, focusing on the mechanisms and available quantitative information ...

RNA G-quadruplex structures exist and function in vivo in plants

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2020
Background Guanine-rich sequences are able to form complex RNA structures termed RNA G-quadruplexes in vitro. Because of their high stability, RNA G-quadruplexes are proposed to exist in vivo and are suggested to be associated with important biological ...

RNA-RNA interaction prediction based on multiple sequence alignments

open access: yes, 2010
Many computerized methods for RNA-RNA interaction structure prediction have been developed. Recently, $O(N^6)$ time and $O(N^4)$ space dynamic programming algorithms have become available that compute the partition function of RNA-RNA interaction ...

A new procedure to analyze RNA non-branching structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
RNA structure prediction and structural motifs analysis are challenging tasks in the investigation of RNA function. We propose a novel procedure to detect structural motifs shared between two RNAs (a reference and a target).

An RNA folding rule

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1984
The folding of single-stranded RNA into its secondary structure is postulated to be equivalent to the simple rule that the next double-helical region (stem) to form is the one with the largest equilibrium constant. The rule is tested and shown to give results consistent with the enzyme cleavage data of several sequences.

Compact Intermediates in RNA Folding [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Biophysics, 2010
Large noncoding RNAs fold into their biologically functional structures via compact yet disordered intermediates, which couple the stable secondary structure of the RNA with the emerging tertiary fold. The specificity of the collapse transition, which coincides with the assembly of helical domains, depends on RNA sequence and counterions.

RNA foldings and Stuck Knots

open access: yes, 2022
We study RNA foldings and investigate their topology using a combination of knot theory and embedded rigid vertex graphs. Knot theory has been helpful in modeling biomolecules, but classical knots place emphasis on a biomolecule's entanglement while ignoring their intrachain interactions.

Identification of serum protein biomarkers for pre‐cancerous lesions associated with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This work identified serum proteins associated with pancreatic epithelial neoplasms (PanINs) and early‐stage PDAC. Proteomics screens assessed genetically engineered mice with abundant PanINs, KPC mice (Lox‐STOP‐Lox‐KrasG12D/+ Lox‐STOP‐Lox‐Trp53R172H/+ Pdx1‐Cre) before PDAC development and also early‐stage PDAC patients (n = 31), compared to benign ...

Frnakenstein: multiple target inverse RNA folding

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2012
Background RNA secondary structure prediction, or folding, is a classic problem in bioinformatics: given a sequence of nucleotides, the aim is to predict the base pairs formed in its three dimensional conformation.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...
