Specificity and nonspecificity in RNA–protein interactions

Open access
Jankowsky, Eckhard, Harris, Michael E.·2015·Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology

Abstract

To fully understand the regulation of gene expression, it is critical to quantitatively define whether and how RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) discriminate between alternative binding sites in RNAs. Here, we describe new methods that measure protein binding to large numbers of RNA variants, and ways to analyse and interpret data obtained by these approaches, including affinity distributions and free energy landscapes. We discuss how the new methodologies and the associated concepts enable the development of inclusive, quantitative models for RNA–protein interactions that transcend the traditional binary classification of RBPs as either specific or nonspecific.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
