Bacterial RNA Polymerase00:43

Bacterial RNA Polymerase

19.9K
Unlike eukaryotes, bacteria use a single RNA Polymerase (RNAP) to transcribe all genes. The different subunits of bacterial RNAPhave distinct functions. The multisubunit structure of the bacterial RNAP helps the enzyme to maintain catalytic function, facilitate assembly, interact with DNA and RNA, and self-regulate its activity.
In most genes, the transcription site is a single base present upstream of the coding sequence. Though RNAP is a catalytically efficient enzyme, it does not recognize...

RNA-seq

9.4K
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

RNA Structure

Overview
The basic structure of RNA consists of a five-carbon sugar and one of four nitrogenous bases. Although most RNA is single-stranded, it can form complex secondary and tertiary structures. Such structures play essential roles in the regulation of transcription and translation.
Different Types of RNA Have the Same Basic Structure
There are three main types of ribonucleic acid (RNA): messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). All three RNA types consist of a...

The basic structure of RNA consists of a string of ribonucleotides attached by phosphodiester bonds. Although most RNA is single-stranded, it can form complex secondary and tertiary structures. Such structures play essential roles in the regulation of transcription and translation.

Bacterial Transcription

25.6K
RNA polymerase (RNAP) carries out DNA-dependent RNA synthesis in both bacteria and eukaryotes. Bacteria do not have a membrane-bound nucleus. So, transcription and translation occur simultaneously, on the same DNA template.
Transcription can be divided into three main stages, each involving distinct DNA sequences to guide the polymerase. These are:

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • RNA molecules perform critical cellular functions.
  • RNA function is determined by its 3D structure (tertiary structure).
  • Predicting RNA tertiary structure is challenging, leading to focus on RNA secondary structure prediction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the RNA inverse folding problem: designing an RNA sequence for a target secondary structure.
  • To introduce a novel evolutionary algorithm, Evolutionary RNA Design (ERD), for this purpose.

Main Methods:

  • ERD algorithm generates RNA sequences.
  • The generated sequence's minimum free energy structure matches the target secondary structure.

Main Results:

  • ERD was compared against INFO-RNA, MODENA, RNAiFold, and NUPACK.
  • ERD demonstrated superior performance in energy range, accuracy, speed, and nucleotide distribution for longer RNA structures.
  • ERD-generated sequences are more reliable and resemble natural RNA sequences.

Conclusions:

  • ERD is an effective evolutionary algorithm for the RNA inverse folding problem.
  • The algorithm produces high-quality RNA sequences with targetable secondary structures.
  • ERD offers an improved approach for designing functional RNA molecules.
