The Evolutionary Plasticity, Conservation of Functional Motifs, and Structural—Functional Architecture of the ras85D 3′ UTR in Drosophila

Background/Objectives: The 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR) integrates cleavage and polyadenylation signals, microRNA targets, RNA-binding-protein sites, and RNA secondary structure, but the organizational levels that remain conserved during long-term sequence evolution are poorly understood. Methods: We analyzed the ra...
