METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING COMPOUNDS THAT AFFECT RNA/RNA BINDING PROTEIN INTERACTIONS

Disclosed herein are nucleic acid sequences and their optimized subfragments which are located in the mRNA untranslated regions of therapeutically-releva nt genes. These sequences specifically bind RNA binding proteins (RBPs) and/or regulate the mRNA functionality. Also disclosed are methods of opti...

Zusammenfassung:Disclosed herein are nucleic acid sequences and their optimized subfragments which are located in the mRNA untranslated regions of therapeutically-releva nt genes. These sequences specifically bind RNA binding proteins (RBPs) and/or regulate the mRNA functionality. Also disclosed are methods of optimizing a subfragment of a parent nucleic acid sequence such that the RBP binding activity or mRNA functionality of the parent nucleic acid sequence is preserved in the optimized subfragment.
