[mRNA-FAST (mRNA-Function, Activity, STructure) computer system].

Computer system mRNA-FAST (mRNA--Function, Activity, STructure; http://wwwmgs.bionet.nsc.ru/mgs/dbases/trsig/) is described. The system has been developed to analyze nucleotide sequences of mRNA and to measure their essential properties. The system compiles the data base on translation signals including nucleotide sequences of the regulatory regions with structural and experimental information on their specific activities. It also contains programs to search for local homology between mRNA and translation signals, to search for potential signals basing on analysis of the oligonucleotide dictionaries, and to model secondary RNA structure. Possible applications of the system mRNA-FAST are discussed.

[The context organization of functional regions in yeast genes with high-level expression].

With the example of yeast genes, context organization was compared for functional gene regions (promoter, 5'-UTR, 3'-UTR) and tested for association with the level of gene expression. Several parameters (nucleotide composition, dinucletoide content bias) proved to correlate with expression level, each functional region having its specific features. Context optimization of a functional region was assumed to be essential for highly efficient interaction with the expression system of the cell. Specific context features were considered as dispersed signals important for high-level gene expression.
