ASSAYS USED IN THE ANALYSIS OF UNTRANSLATED REGIONS OF VIRUSES
Abstract
Untranslated regions (UTRs) of virus genomes are known to play crucial roles in the post-
transcriptional regulation of gene expression, including modulation of the transport of mRNAs out of the nucleus and of translation efficiency, subcellular localization and stability. The molecu-lar profiling of many diseases has shown that the untranslated regions of mRNAs play a more significant role in disease progression and susceptibility than previously thought. Therefore, the methods used in the mapping and detection of these regions continue to gain importance. De-pending on technology development, each test method makes significant progress through uni-versity research and commercial companies. Therefore, it provides more detailed information about the mutations that occur in these regions and their effects on the formation of the disease. In this study, the tests used to detect untranslated regions are described. These tests include Pri-mer Extension Assay, S1 Nuclease Assay,RNAse Protection Assay, and Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends Assay. These assays can be used to map the 5’ and 3’ terminus of an RNA and to quantitate the amount of a given RNA by extending a primer using reverse transcriptase.
