Cell
|December 1, 1982
Resumen
La modificación de la transcripción de ARN II durante la formación de un primer de replicación del ADN inhibe el proceso. La alteración del ARN II.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- La bioquímica es la bioquímica.
- Genética La genética.
Sus antecedentes:
- La replicación del ADN CoIE1 requiere un primer de ARN específico (ARN II) para su iniciación.
- Se sabe que el ARN I se asocia con el ARN II, inhibiendo la formación de primeras.
- Los mecanismos precisos por los cuales la estructura del ARN influye en la síntesis del primer no se comprenden completamente.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar el papel de la estructura secundaria de ARN II durante la transcripción en la formación de primeras de replicación de ADN CoIE1.
- Determinar cómo las modificaciones en la transcripción del ARN II afectan el inicio de la replicación del ADN.
Principales métodos:
- La transcripción in vitro del ADN CoIE1 para producir ARN II.
- Sustitución aleatoria de los residuos de guanina (G) con los residuos de inosina (I) en el transcrito del ARN II.
- Análisis de la formación híbrida de ARN-ADN y la pausa transcripcional utilizando ARN II. modificado.
Principales resultados:
- La sustitución de incluso una pequeña fracción de residuos G por residuos I en el ARN II inhibe la formación de primeras.
- Las sustituciones inhibidoras pueden ocurrir en regiones distantes del origen de la replicación del ADN.
- La asociación de ARN I con ARN II mejora la pausa transcripcional aguas abajo, correlacionándose con los cambios estructurales en el ARN II.
Conclusiones:
- La estructura secundaria de la transcripción del ARN II naciente es crítica para la formación eficiente de primeras en la replicación del ADN CoIE1.
- Las alteraciones en la estructura del ARN II pueden afectar los eventos transcripcionales, incluida la pausa, en sitios alejados de la modificación.
- La integridad estructural del ARN II es esencial para su función de iniciar la replicación del ADN.

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...

Directing Proteins to the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
The organelle-specific signaling sequences direct proteins synthesized in the cytosol to their final destination like ER, mitochondria, peroxisomes, etc. Some of the proteins directed to ER are then trafficked via vesicles to other organelles within the cell or the extracellular environment through the Golgi complex. For example, the rough ER synthesizes soluble proteins for transportation to the lysosomes or secretion out of the cell. It can also synthesize transmembrane proteins that can...
RNA Structure
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.

Nucleic Acid Structure
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.
