There appears to be a bulge in the stem structure of Y-RNA’s similar to that present in IRE’s (Iron Responsive Elements); in IRE’s this “stem-bulge” is critical for recognition by the Iron-Responsive Protein (IRP).


Does the bulge on the stem structure serve a specific a function in Y-RNA’s? (First off, is it real, and conserved? This could be tested with a variety of Nuclease treatments.  e.g., RNase V1 (dsRNA), RNase T1 (ssG), RNaseA (ssU & ssC)) Any other ideas for testing experimentally?
