Abstract excerpt
There are over 1 million Alu elements in the human genome which can be transcribed into discrete, RNA polymerase III transcribed noncoding Alu RNAs. These Alu RNAs often interact with and are regulated by the protein heterodimer SRP9/SRP14. This interaction is dependent on a 5' pseudoknot domain in the Alu RNA that is thought to be held together by a canonical nucleotide triad within a U-turn motif. Herein, we...
