  8. Covalent & non-covalent bonds in RNA This is a new slide • Primary: • Covalent bonds • Secondary/Tertiary • Non-covalent bonds • H-bonds • (base-pairing) • Base stacking Fig 6.2 Baxevanis & Ouellette 2005 BCB 444/544 F07 ISU Dobbs #26 - Gene Prediction

  9. RNA Pseudoknots & Tetraloops This is a new slide • Often have important regulatory or catalytic functions Pseudoknot Tetraloop http://www.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Research-Review/Annual-Reports/1995/images/rna.gif http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/chem/zhuang/QD/mckay_hr.gif BCB 444/544 F07 ISU Dobbs #26 - Gene Prediction

  10. Base Pairing in RNA This slide has been changed See: IMB Image Library of Biological Molecules G-C, A-U, G-U ("wobble") & many variants http://www.fli-leibniz.de/ImgLibDoc/nana/IMAGE_NANA.html#basepairs BCB 444/544 F07 ISU Dobbs #26 - Gene Prediction

  11. RNA Secondary Structure Prediction Methods This slide has been changed Two (three, recently) main types of methods: • Ab initio - based on calculating most energetically favorable secondary structure(s) Energy minimization (thermodynamics) • Comparative approach - based on comparisons of multiple evolutionarily-related RNA sequences Sequence comparison (co-variation) • Combinedcomputational & experimental Use experimental constraints when available BCB 444/544 F07 ISU Dobbs #26 - Gene Prediction

  12. RNA Secondary structure prediction - 3 This is a new slide DMS G 200 220 240 Kethoxal modification (mild) (strong) DMS modification (mild) (strong) 3) Combined experimental & computational • Experiments: Map single-stranded vs double-stranded regions in folded RNA • How? Enzymes: S1 nuclease, T1 RNase Chemicals: kethoxal, DMS, OH • Software: Mfold Sfold RNAStructure RNAFold RNAlifold BCB 444/544 F07 ISU Dobbs #26 - Gene Prediction

  13. Ab Initio Prediction: Clarifications This slide has been changed • Free energy is calculated based on parameters determined in the wet lab • Correction: Use known energy associated with each type of nearest-neighbor pair (base-stacking) (not base-pair) • Base-pair formation is not independent: multiple base-pairs adjacent to each other are more favorable than individual base-pairs - cooperative - because of base-stacking interactions • Bulges and loops adjacent to base-pairs have a free energy penalty BCB 444/544 F07 ISU Dobbs #26 - Gene Prediction

  14. Energy minimization: What are the rules? This is a new slide Basepair Basepair A U A U A=U A=U G = -1.2 kcal/mole A U U A A=U U=A G = -1.6 kcal/mole What gives here? Why 1.2 vs 1.6? C Staben 2005 BCB 444/544 F07 ISU Dobbs #26 - Gene Prediction

  15. Energy minimization calculations:Base-stacking is critical This is a new slide - Tinocco et al. C Staben 2005 BCB 444/544 F07 ISU Dobbs #26 - Gene Prediction

  16. Ab Initio Energy Calculation This slide has been changed • Search for all possible base-pairing patterns • Calculate total energy of each structure based on all stabilizing and destabilizing forces Total free energy for a specific RNA conformation = Sum of incremental energy terms for: • helical stacking (sequence dependent) • loop initiation • unpaired stacking (favorable "increments" are < 0) Fig 6.3 Baxevanis & Ouellette 2005 BCB 444/544 F07 ISU Dobbs #26 - Gene Prediction

  17. Dynamic Programming This slide has been changed • Finding optimal secondary structure is difficult - lots of possibilities • Compare RNA sequence with itself • Apply scoring scheme based on energy parameters for base stacking, cooperativity, and penalties for destabilizing forces (loops, bulges) • Find path that represents most energetically favorable secondary structure BCB 444/544 F07 ISU Dobbs #26 - Gene Prediction
