Irreducibility in RNA Structures [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2009
In this paper we study irreducibility in RNA structures. By RNA structure we mean RNA secondary as well as RNA pseudoknot structures. In our analysis we shall contrast random and minimum free energy (mfe) configurations. We compute various distributions: of the numbers of irreducible substructures, their locations and sizes, parameterized in terms of ...

RNA structure probing reveals the structural basis of Dicer binding and cleavage

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
It is known that an RNA’s structure determines its biological function, yet current RNA structure probing methods only capture partial structure information.

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 ...

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.

RNA STRUCTURAL SEGMENTATION [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We describe several dynamic programming segmentation algorithms to segment RNA secondary and tertiary structures into distinct domains. For this purpose, we consider fitness functions that variously depend on (i) base pairing probabilities in the Boltzmann low energy ensemble of structures, (ii) contact maps inferred from 3-dimensional structures, and (

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.

An ultra low-input method for global RNA structure probing uncovers Regnase-1-mediated regulation in macrophages

open access: yesFundamental Research, 2022
To enable diverse functions and precise regulation, an RNA sequence often folds into complex yet distinct structures in different cellular states. Probing RNA in its native environment is essential to uncovering RNA structures of biological contexts ...
