Title

Carafa Scoring System

Scoring System 2 is based on the model created by d'Aubenton Carafa.[1] The score of terminator consists of two parts, the free energy of stemloop and the score of 15 nt poly T tail. The free energy of stemloop is calculated using Loop Dependent Energy Rules[2]. The minimization of the free energy also determined the secondary structure of the stemloop. T tail score is calculated by the formula given by d’ Aubenton Carafa.

Detailed Calculation of Score

1. Some definitions[2]

i. Closing Base Pair

For an RNA sequence, we number it from 5’ to 3’ . If i < j and nucleotides ri and rj form a base pair,we denote it by i.j. We call base ri’ or base pair i’.j’ is accessible from i.j if i < i’ ( < j’ ) < j and if there is no other base pair k.l so that i < k < i’ ( < j’ ) < l < j. We denote the collection of base and base pair accessible from i.j by L(i,j). Then i.j is the closing base pair. Here “L” means loop.

ii. n-loop

If the loop contain n – 1 base pairs, we denote it by n-loop. (Because there is a closing base pair, so we denote it by n-loop even though the closing base pair is not included in the loop.)

Here we can divide loops which may be formed in the terminator secondary structure into two kinds.

1-loop : Hairpin loop(size of loop shouldn’t be smaller than 3)

2-loop : Interior Loop(right strand size and left strand size are both bigger than 0.)

Buldge(Size of one strand is bigger than 0 and that of another strand is 0.)

Stack(size of the loop is 0.)

2. Calculation of the Minimum Free Energy Change of Stemloop Formation[3]

Assume i.j is the closing base pair of the loop

G(i,j)= min { GH ( i , j ) , GS( i , j ) + G ( i + 1 , j – 1 ) , GBI( i , j ) } ;

GBI ( i , j ) = min{ gbi( i , j , k , l ) + G( k , l ) } for all 0 < k – i + l – j - 2 < max_size

G(i,j) is the minimum free energy change of stemloop formation. GH is the free energy change to form a hairpin loop. GS is the free energy change to form a stack. GBI is to calculate the minimum free energy change of structure containing 2-loop. gbi(i,j,k,l) is the free energy change to form 2-loop.

3.Calculation of T Tail Score

Here we consider 15 nucleotide in the downstream of stemloop. T tail score nT is calculated as follows :

In our program, if the length of the T tail( n ) is less than 15, we will only consider n nucleotides. If TL is more than 15, we will only consider 15 nucleotides.

4.Calculation of Score

Score = nT * 18.16 + deltaG / LH * 96.59 – 116.87

Here nT is T tail score. deltaG is the minimum free energy change of stemloop formation. LH is the length of stemloop.
