PWP1 promotes nutrient-responsive expression of 5S ribosomal RNA [PDF]
PWP1 is a chromatin binding protein with an important role in animal growth control downstream of mTOR-mediated nutrient sensing. PWP1 has been shown to control tissue growth by promoting the transcription of 5.8S, 18S and 28S ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) by ...

The Ribosomal DNA Loci of the Ancient Monocot Pistia stratiotes L. (Araceae) Contain Different Variants of the 35S and 5S Ribosomal RNA Gene Units [PDF]
The freshwater plant water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.) grows in warm climatic zones and is used for phytoremediation and biomass production. P. stratiotes belongs to the Araceae, an ecologically and structurally diverse early monocot family, but the ...

5S Ribosomal RNA Is an Essential Component of a Nascent Ribosomal Precursor Complex that Regulates the Hdm2-p53 Checkpoint [PDF]
Recently, we demonstrated that RPL5 and RPL11 act in a mutually dependent manner to inhibit Hdm2 and stabilize p53 following impaired ribosome biogenesis.

Cryo-electron microscopy visualization of a large insertion in the 5S ribosomal RNA of the extremely halophilic archaeon Halococcus morrhuae. [PDF]
The extreme halophile Halococcus morrhuae (ATCC® 17082) contains a 108-nucleotide insertion in its 5S rRNA. Large rRNA expansions in Archaea are rare. This one almost doubles the length of the 5S rRNA.

Genetic and epigenetic variation in 5S ribosomal RNA genes reveals genome dynamics in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
Organized in tandem repeat arrays in most eukaryotes and transcribed by RNA polymerase III, expression of 5S rRNA genes is under epigenetic control. To unveil mechanisms of transcriptional regulation, we obtained here in depth sequence information on 5S ...

Diverging repeatomes in holoparasitic Hydnoraceae uncover a playground of genome evolution. [PDF]
Summary The transition from an autotrophic to a heterotrophic lifestyle is associated with numerous genomic changes. These often involve large genomic alterations, potentially driven by repetitive DNAs. Despite their recognized role in shaping plant genomes, the contribution of repetitive DNAs to parasitic plant genome evolution remains largely ...

Molecular evolution of 5S ribosomal RNA from red and brown algae
The cytoplasmic 5S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences from seven red algae, a golden-yellow alga, a diatom and five brown algae have been determined. Using these sequences, phylogenic tree of these organisms have been constructed.Three types of algae, i.e ...

Secondary structure of eukaryotic cytoplasmic 5S ribosomal RNA.
A five-helix secondary structural model is proposed for eukaryotic cytoplasmic 5S rRNA. All available sequence data are consistent with this model including those from Chlorella 5S rRNA whose sequence is revised by data included here.

Small Nucleolar RNAs: Biological Functions and Diseases. [PDF]
The majority of snoRNAs are derived from the intron region of genes, besides to intronic snoRNAs, some snoRNAs are transcribed as independent genes, often by Pol II or III, these snoRNAs are called intergenic snoRNAs. All of these play a role in the occurrence and progression of various diseases through multiple functions.
