18S-NemaBase: Curated 18S rRNA Database of Nematode Sequences [PDF]
Nematodes are the most abundant and diverse animals on the planet but lack representation in biodiversity research. This presents a problem for studying nematode diversity, particularly when molecular tools (i.e., barcoding and metabarcoding) rely on ...

Regulation of translation by methylation multiplicity of 18S rRNA [PDF]
Summary: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a conserved ribonucleoside modification that regulates many facets of RNA metabolism. Using quantitative mass spectrometry, we find that the universally conserved tandem adenosines at the 3′ end of 18S rRNA, thought ...

Arabidopsis HOT3/eIF5B1 constrains rRNA RNAi by facilitating 18S rRNA maturation. [PDF]
Ribosome biogenesis is essential for protein synthesis in gene expression. Yeast eIF5B has been shown biochemically to facilitate 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) 3′ end maturation during late-stage 40S ribosomal subunit assembly and gate the transition from translation initiation to elongation.

18S rRNA methyltransferases DIMT1 and BUD23 drive intergenerational hormesis. [PDF]
Heritable non-genetic information can regulate a variety of complex phenotypes. However, what specific non-genetic cues are transmitted from parents to their descendants are poorly understood. Here, we perform metabolic methyl-labeling experiments to track the heritable transmission of methylation from ancestors to their descendants in the nematode ...

Poly(G)7 box: a functional element of mammalian 18S rRNA involved in translation [PDF]
In eukaryotes, the ribosomal small subunit (40S) is composed of 18S rRNA and 33 ribosomal proteins. 18S rRNA has a special secondary structure and is an indispensable part of the translation process.

Overexpression of 18S rRNA methyltransferase CrBUD23 enhances biomass and lutein content in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
Post-transcriptional modification of nucleic acids including transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) is vital for fine-tunning of mRNA translation. Methylation is one of the most widespread post-transcriptional modifications in

H/ACA snR30 snoRNP guides independent 18S rRNA subdomain formation. [PDF]
Abstract Ribosome biogenesis follows a cascade of pre-rRNA folding and processing steps, coordinated with ribosomal protein incorporation. Nucleolar 90S pre-ribosomes are well-described stable intermediates, composed of pre-18S rRNA, ribosomal S-proteins, U3 snoRNA, and ~70 assembly factors.
