Insights into anti-termination regulation of the hut operon in Bacillus subtilis: importance of the dual RNA-binding surfaces of HutP
2008
Nucleic Acids Research
On the basis of biochemical, in vivo and X-ray structural analyses, we now report that HutP uses its dual RNA-binding surfaces to access two XAGrich regions (sites I and II) within the terminator RNA to ...
In this process, HutP initiates destabilization at the 5'-end of its mRNA by binding to the first XAG-rich region (site I) and then accesses the second XAG-rich region (site II), located downstream of ...

In vitro RNA random pools are not structurally diverse: A computational analysis
2005
RNA: A publication of the RNA Society
Moreover, we quantify the rise of structural complexity with sequence length and report the dominant class of tree motifs (characterized by vertex number) for each pool. ...
These analyses show not only that random pools do not lead to a uniform distribution of possible RNA secondary topologies; they point to avenues for designing pools with specific simple and complex structures ...

Secondary Structure of Influenza A Virus Genomic Segment 8 RNA Folded in a Cellular Environment

Defining the syntax for self-assembling RNA tertiary architectures
2009
Nucleic Acids Symposium Series
Using comparative sequence and structural analysis of known X-ray structures of RNAs, folding and assembly principles of RNA can presently be gathered to generate the syntax of a proto-language for rational ...
Stable RNAs are modular and hierarchical three-dimensional (3D) architectures taking advantage of recurrent structural motifs to form extensive non-covalent tertiary interactions (1,2). ...
More recently, as a proof of concept, we have demonstrated that structurally complex RNA structures based on a syntax involving a repertoire of several different RNA motifs can self-assemble into complex ...

Recognition of duplex DNA by RNA polynucleotides
1995
Nucleic Acids Research
The affinity of a polymeric RNA with three copies of the recognition sequence was greater than that of a polymeric RNA with a single copy of the sequence. ...
Enzymatic probing of folded RNAs suggests that reduced affinity arises from unfavorable electrostatic, structural and topological considerations. ...
