Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER01:29

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

4.9K
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...

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...

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

11.6K
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...

Nucleic Acid Structure01:25

Nucleic Acid Structure

8.3K
The pentose sugar in DNA is deoxyribose, while in RNA the pentose sugar is ribose. The difference between the sugars is the presence of the hydroxyl group on the ribose's second carbon and a hydrogen on the deoxyribose's second carbon. The phosphate residue attaches to the hydroxyl group of the 5′ carbon of one sugar and the hydroxyl group of the 3′ carbon of the sugar of the next nucleotide, which forms  a 5′ to 3′ phosphodiester linkage.

RNA Stability

35.5K
Intact DNA strands can be found in fossils, while scientists sometimes struggle to keep RNA intact under laboratory conditions. The structural variations between RNA and DNA underlie the differences in their stability and longevity. Because DNA is double-stranded, it is inherently more stable. The single-stranded structure of RNA is less stable but also more flexible and can form weak internal bonds. Additionally, most RNAs in the cell are relatively short, while DNA can be up to 250 million...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • RNA secondary structure identification is crucial for nucleic acid characterization.
  • Existing computational structure prediction methods face slow improvements and methodological redundancy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel consensus scoring approach for RNA secondary structure prediction.
  • To introduce RNAdemocracy, a Python program implementing this ensemble method.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a consensus scoring approach integrating multiple established prediction methods.
  • Implemented the approach in a Python program named RNAdemocracy.
  • Evaluated the program's performance against existing methods.

Main Results:

  • RNAdemocracy demonstrates competitive performance with existing RNA structure prediction methods.
  • The ensemble approach is limited by commonalities in input methods and available RNA structure datasets, leading to potential agreement errors.
  • The modular design allows for easy upgrading and customization.

Conclusions:

  • RNAdemocracy serves as a valuable tool to guide users to regions of sequence space exhibiting structural agreement.
  • The program can grade predictions by providing a consensus percentage from contributing methods, indicating potential accuracy.
