RNA二级结构包括假结的共转录动力学折叠

Cotranscriptional kinetic folding of RNA secondary structures including pseudoknots

Vo Hong Thanh, Dani Korpela, Pekka Orponen

摘要:

RNA结构的计算预测是计算结构生物学中的一个重要问题。RNA结构形成的研究通常假设该过程从完全合成的序列开始。然而,实验证据表明,RNA折叠与其延伸同时进行。我们研究RNA二级结构的形成,包括假结,考虑到共转录的影响。我们提出了一个单核苷酸分辨率的RNA分子的折叠过程的动力学模型,其中聚合酶驱动的延伸的RNA链的一个新的核苷酸被包括作为一个原始的操作,连同随机模拟方法,实现这种折叠同时与转录合成。数值案例研究表明,我们的共转录RNA折叠模型可以预测的构象,有利于在实际的生物系统的形成。因此,我们的新计算工具可以提供定量预测,并提供有用的见解RNA折叠的动力学。

英文摘要:

Computational prediction of RNA structures is an important problem in computational structural biology. Studies of RNA structure formation often assume that the process starts from a fully synthesized sequence. Experimental evidence, however, has shown that RNA folds concurrently with its elongation. We investigate RNA secondary structure formation, including pseudoknots, that takes into account the cotranscriptional effects. We propose a single-nucleotide resolution kinetic model of the folding process of RNA molecules, where the polymerase-driven elongation of an RNA strand by a new nucleotide is included as a primitive operation, together with a stochastic simulation method that implements this folding concurrently with the transcriptional synthesis. Numerical case studies show that our cotranscriptional RNA folding model can predict the formation of conformations that are favored in actual biological systems. Our new computational tool can thus provide quantitative predictions and offer useful insights into the kinetics of RNA folding.
