RNA Structure

79.1K
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...

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

A Y-connected synchronous generator, grounded through a neutral impedance, is designed to produce balanced internal phase voltages with only positive-sequence components. The generator's sequence networks include a source voltage that is exclusively in the positive-sequence network. The sequence components of line-to-ground voltages at the generator terminals illustrate this configuration.
Zero-sequence current induces a voltage drop across the generator's neutral impedance and other...

Protein Networks

4.5K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

RNA Polymerase II Accessory Proteins

11.0K
Proteins that regulate transcription can do so either via direct contact with RNA Polymerase or through indirect interactions facilitated by adaptors, mediators, histone-modifying proteins, and nucleosome remodelers. Direct interactions to activate transcription is seen in bacteria as well as in some eukaryotic genes. In these cases, upstream activation sequences are adjacent to the promoters, and the activator proteins interact directly with the transcriptional machinery. For example, in...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • RNA secondary structure is more conserved than primary sequence, making it vital for aligning RNA sequences with low sequence identity.
  • Simultaneous RNA alignment and folding algorithms improve accuracy but suffer from high computational complexity (O(N6)), limiting large-scale applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computationally efficient method for pairwise RNA structural alignment.
  • To address the limitations of existing simultaneous RNA alignment and folding algorithms.

Main Methods:

  • A novel network-based scheme, TOPAS (Topological Networks for RNA Alignment), is proposed.
  • TOPAS constructs topological networks representing RNA folding structures, weighted by base-pairing probabilities.
  • Probabilistic network alignment techniques are used to efficiently align these topological networks.

Main Results:

  • TOPAS achieves significantly lower computational complexity compared to traditional dynamic programming methods.
  • The method demonstrates favorable alignment results, outperforming previous RNA structural alignment techniques.
  • TOPAS effectively handles RNA structures with pseudoknots.

Conclusions:

  • TOPAS offers a faster and more accurate approach to pairwise RNA structural alignment.
  • The network-based strategy provides a scalable solution for large-scale RNA analysis.
  • The algorithm's ability to handle pseudoknots enhances its utility in diverse RNA studies.
