Structural analysis of mtEXO mitochondrial RNA degradosome reveals tight coupling of nuclease and helicase components

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The mitochondrial RNA degradosome (mtEXO) plays an essential role in the regulation of mitochondrial gene expression and is composed of the 3′-to-5′ exoribonuclease Dss1 and the helicase Suv3.

Statistical Physics of RNA-folding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We discuss the physics of RNA as described by its secondary structure. We examine the static properties of a homogeneous RNA-model that includes pairing and base stacking energies as well as entropic costs for internal loops.

Helix capping in RNA structure. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Helices are an essential element in defining the three-dimensional architecture of structured RNAs. While internal basepairs in a canonical helix stack on both sides, the ends of the helix stack on only one side and are exposed to the loop side, thus ...

A small RNA response at DNA ends in Drosophila [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Small RNAs have been implicated in numerous cellular processes, including effects on chromatin structure and the repression of transposons. We describe the generation of a small RNA response at DNA ends in Drosophila that is analogous to the recently ...

VfoldCPX Server: Predicting RNA-RNA Complex Structure and Stability. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
RNA-RNA interactions are essential for genomic RNA dimerization, mRNA splicing, and many RNA-related gene expression and regulation processes. The prediction of the structure and folding stability of RNA-RNA complexes is a problem of significant ...

Structural Differences between Pri-miRNA Paralogs Promote Alternative Drosha Cleavage and Expand Target Repertoires

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: MicroRNA (miRNA) processing begins with Drosha cleavage, the fidelity of which is critical for downstream processing and mature miRNA target specificity.

RNA Thermodynamic Structural Entropy

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2015
Conformational entropy for atomic-level, three dimensional biomolecules is known experimentally to play an important role in protein-ligand discrimination, yet reliable computation of entropy remains a difficult problem. Here we describe the first two accurate and efficient algorithms to compute the conformational entropy for RNA secondary structures ...

Combinatorial RNA Design Designability and Structure-Approximating Algorithm in Watson-Crick and Nussinov-Jacobson Energy Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We consider the Combinatorial RNA Design problem, a minimal instance of RNA design where one must produce an RNA sequence that adopts a given secondary structure as its minimal free-energy structure.

Recognition of two distinct elements in the RNA substrate by the RNA-binding domain of the T. thermophilus DEAD box helicase Hera [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
DEAD box helicases catalyze the ATP-dependent destabilization of RNA duplexes. Whereas duplex separation is mediated by the helicase core shared by all members of the family, flanking domains often contribute to binding of the RNA substrate.
