Discovery of Small Peptides Derived from Embryonic Lethal Abnormal Vision Proteins Structure Showing RNA-Stabilizing Properties
摘要:
Four peptides corresponding to highly conserved motives within the first two RNA recognition motif-type domains of ELAV proteins were prepared. and their effect on the stability of NOVA-1 and VEGF ELAV-target mRNAs Was evaluated. Biological results show that in the presence of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (a PKC activator triggering the ELAV pathway), an equimolar mixture of peptides induces a statistically significant stabilization of the selected transcripts, suggesting a synergic effect of the two stimuli.
