Recent Advances on the Structure and Function of RNA Acetyltransferase Kre33/NAT10
Ribosome biogenesis is one of the most energy demanding processes in the cell. In eukaryotes, the main steps of this process occur in the nucleolus and include pre-ribosomal RNA (pre-rRNA) processing, post-transcriptional modifications, and assembly of ...

The gene coding for small ribosomal subunit RNA in the basidiomycete Ustilago maydis contains a group I intron [PDF]
The nucleotide sequence of the gene coding for small ribosomal subunit RNA in the basidiomycete Ustilago maydis was determined. It revealed the presence of a group I intron with a length of 411 nucleotides.

Use of Internal Controls to Increase Quantitative Capabilities of the Ribonuclease Protection Assay
Through the use of two internal controls, we have developed an improved method of quantitating ribonuclease protection assay (RPA) results. A truncated sense RNA fragment and an antisense RNA fragment for the gene of interest were transcribed from PCR ...

Validation of suitable internal control genes for expression studies in aging. [PDF]
Quantitative data from experiments of gene expression are often normalized through levels of housekeeping genes transcription by assuming that expression of these genes is highly uniform. This practice is being questioned as it becomes increasingly clear

Rcl1 Protein, a Novel Nuclease for 18 S Ribosomal RNA Production [PDF]
In all forms of life, rRNAs for the small and large ribosomal subunit are co-transcribed as a single transcript. Although this ensures the equimolar production of rRNAs, it requires the endonucleolytic separation of pre-rRNAs to initiate rRNA production.
