Protein Folding

Protein Folding

Proteins are chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Upon synthesis, a protein folds into a three-dimensional conformation, critical to its biological function. Interactions between its constituent amino acids guide protein folding, and hence the protein structure is primarily dependent on its amino acid sequence.

Molecular Shapes

Molecules have characteristic shapes that are crucial for their function. The arrangement of various electron groups around the central atom dictates their molecular geometry. Electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom will adopt an arrangement that minimizes repulsions between the electron pairs by maximizing the distance between them. The valence electrons form either bonding pairs, located primarily between bonded atoms, or lone pairs.

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

ER is the primary site for the maturation and folding of soluble and transmembrane secretory proteins. The calnexin cycle is a specific chaperone system that folds and assesses the confirmation of N-glycosylated proteins before they can exit the ER lumen. The primary players of this quality check pipeline are the lectins, ER-resident chaperones, and a glucosyl transferase enzyme. In case the calnexin system in the lumen fails to salvage a misfolded protein, it is transported to the cytoplasm...

Background:

RNA secondary structure modeling is crucial but challenging.
Previous methods using 1M7 SHAPE reactivity achieved >90% accuracy but struggled with some RNAs.
Difficulties in modeling accurate RNA structures limit understanding of their function.

Purpose of the Study:

Utilizing SHAPE-directed modeling with multiple chemical reagents.
Applying algorithms to previously difficult-to-model RNA structures.

Main Results:

Achieved highly accurate secondary structure models for RNAs previously resistant to accurate modeling.
Recovered 93% of accepted canonical base pairs in SHAPE-directed models for these RNAs.
Demonstrated that discrepancies reflect genuine structural differences, not prediction errors.

Conclusions:

Three-reagent SHAPE-directed modeling offers a concise and scalable solution for in-solution secondary structure analysis.
This advanced method significantly enhances the accuracy of RNA secondary structure prediction.
The findings resolve long-standing challenges in analyzing the secondary structures of complex RNAs.
