Abstract excerpt
Recent technical advances have facilitated studies on changes in mRNA structures in response to signaling pathways. However, whether mRNA structures can affect the function of the encoded protein remains poorly understood. In-cell RNA structural probing (SHAPE-MaP) demonstrates how two cancer-associated synonymous mutations (CASMs) at proline codon 34 (c.102 C > A and c.102 C > G) prevent DNA damage-induced TP53...
