RNA-seq

10.1K
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...

Single-Strand DNA Binding Proteins

14.2K
For successful DNA replication, the unwinding of double-stranded DNA must be accompanied by stabilization and protection of the separated single strands of the DNA. This crucial task is performed by single-strand DNA-binding (SSB) proteins. They bind to the DNA in a sequence-independent manner, which means that the nitrogenous bases of the DNA need not be present in a specific order for binding of SSB proteins to it. The binding of SSB proteins straightens single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and makes...

RNA Structure

4.9K
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.
Different Types of RNA Have the Same Basic Structure
There are three main types of ribonucleic acid (RNA) involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). All three...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemistry
  • Structural Biology

Background:

  • RNA exhibits complex secondary and tertiary structures, hindering the development of sequence-specific targeting ligands.
  • Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) segments are common in RNA tertiary structures, presenting a unique binding challenge.
  • Existing DNA-binding motifs like bZIP and bHLH are not ideal for dsRNA major groove recognition due to structural constraints.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and develop novel ligands capable of sequence-specifically targeting double-stranded RNA (dsRNA).
  • To investigate structural requirements for targeting dsRNA major grooves by adapting DNA-binding protein motifs.
  • To create a generalizable proteomimetic scaffold for dsRNA recognition.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of high-resolution DNA and RNA structures to identify key features for dsRNA binding.
  • Rational design of a synthetic crosslinked helix fork (CHF) motif by modifying bHLH protein structures.
  • In vitro evaluation of CHF constructs against RNA and DNA hairpins to assess binding specificity.

Main Results:

  • The study identified that replacing leucine zipper motifs with synthetic crosslinkers in bHLH proteins enables dsRNA recognition.
  • A model bHLH DNA-binding motif was successfully re-engineered into an RNA ligand.
  • The rationally designed CHF scaffold demonstrated specificity for dsRNA targets.

Conclusions:

  • A new class of proteomimetics, the CHF scaffold, has been developed for targeting dsRNA.
  • This represents an encodable platform for achieving sequence-specific recognition of dsRNA.
  • The findings overcome limitations in targeting complex RNA structures and open new avenues in RNA-based therapeutics and diagnostics.
