Lead compound discovery for myotonic dystrophy
… lead to formation of stable poly(CUG) mRNA which mislocalize splicing factors such as MBNL1 and lead to missplicing in the cell. One therapeutic strategy is to target such mutant mRNA with small molecules to prevent the sequestration of splicing factors which will prevent the multiple …

STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL STUDIES OF ARCHAEAL BOX C/D GUIDE RNA AND ROLE OF A PUTATIVE HUMAN PSEUDOURIDINE SYNTHASE, PUS10 IN APOPTOSIS
RNAs undergo different posttranscriptional chemical modifications, which affect their structural stability and functional diversity. RNA methylation is a very common type of post-transcriptional modification and is present in all domains of life: Archaea, Eukaryotes and Bacteria. Some of these …

Characterization of Yeast 18S rRNA Dimethyl Transferase, Dim1p
… process involves numerous cleavages of pre-rRNA, modification of nucleotides, and concomitant assembly of the ribosomal proteins onto the rRNA. Considerable information is available about the importance of conserved pre-rRNA cleavage events in ribosome biogenesis; however, very little is …

CHARACTERIZATION OF THE FUNCTION OF THE DEAD-BOX RNA HELICASE DBP2
… there are highly coupled mechanisms that require RNA-binding proteins to facilitate gene expression. Proper RNA structure and ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex formation are critical for gene expression. DEAD-box proteins are the largest class of RNA helicases that play fundamental roles in RNA and …

Conformational features of the human U2-U6 snRNA complex
<p>The splicing of precursor messenger (pre-m) RNA, during which noncoding intervening sequences are excised and flanking coding regions ligated, is an integral reaction of gene expression. In eukaryotes, it is carried out by a dynamic RNA-protein complex called the spliceosome, in which five small …

Mechanisms of mRNA substrate-selection by the Ccr4-Not deadenylase complex
… are expressed depends on the rate at which the mRNA is generated, and the rate at which it is utilised and destroyed. Almost all eukaryotic mRNAs contain a stretch of adenosine nucleotides known as the poly(A) tail. The removal of the polyA tail from an mRNA, a process called deadenylation, is an …
