Flexible pri-miRNA structures enable tunable production of 5’ isomiRs

open access: yesRNA Biology, 2022
The Drosha cleavage of a pri-miRNA defines mature microRNA sequence. Drosha cleavage at alternative positions generates 5’ isoforms (isomiRs) which have distinctive functions. To understand how pri-miRNA structures influence Drosha cleavage, we performed

Alternate RNA Structures [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2020
RNA molecules fold into complex three-dimensional structures that sample alternate conformations ranging from minor differences in tertiary structure dynamics to major differences in secondary structure. This allows them to form entirely different substructures with each population potentially giving rise to a distinct biological outcome.

Accurate RNA 3D structure prediction using a language model-based deep learning approach [PDF]

open access: yesNature Methods 2024, 2022
Accurate prediction of RNA three-dimensional (3D) structure remains an unsolved challenge. Determining RNA 3D structures is crucial for understanding their functions and informing RNA-targeting drug development and synthetic biology design. The structural flexibility of RNA, which leads to scarcity of experimentally determined data, complicates ...

SS/SW BASE PAIRS ARE THE ONLY BASE PAIRS INVOLVED IN LONG-RANGE RNA TERTIARY MOTIFS

open access: yesJournal of Bioinformatics and Genomics, 2020
The structure of noncoding RNAs largely determines their functions. With the rapid growth of experimental data on the RNA secondary structures, the task of predicting its spatial structure becomes the most urgent task of RNA bioinformatics.

Deconstructing internal ribosome entry site elements: an update of structural motifs and functional divergences [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2018
Beyond the general cap-dependent translation initiation, eukaryotic organisms use alternative mechanisms to initiate protein synthesis. Internal ribosome entry site (IRES) elements are cis-acting RNA regions that promote internal initiation of ...

An RNA Thermometer Activity of the West Nile Virus Genomic 3′-Terminal Stem-Loop Element Modulates Viral Replication Efficiency during Host Switching

open access: yesViruses, 2020
The 3′-terminal stem-loop (3′SL) of the RNA genome of the flavivirus West Nile (WNV) harbors, in its stem, one of the sequence elements that are required for genome cyclization.

Structural and dynamic mechanisms for coupled folding and tRNA recognition of a translational T-box riboswitch

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
T-box riboswitches are unique riboregulators where gene regulation is mediated through interactions between two highly structured RNAs. Despite extensive structural insights, how RNA-RNA interactions drive the folding and structural transitions of T-box ...
