Effect of mutations on the p53 IRES RNA structure: implications for de-regulation of the synthesis of p53 isoforms.

abstract：:A recent study revealed that poly(A)-binding protein (PABP) bound to poly(A) RNA exhibits a sharply bent configuration at the linker region between RNA-recognition motif 2 (RRM2) and RRM3, whereas free PABP exhibits a highly flexible linear configuration. However, the physiological role of the bent structure of mRNA-b...

abstract：:Proper base-pairing of a miRNA with its target mRNA is a key step in miRNA-mediated mRNA repression. RNA remodelling by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) can improve access of miRNAs to their target mRNAs. The largest isoform p45 of the RBP AUF1 has previously been shown to remodel viral or AU-rich RNA elements. Here, we sh...
