The Mitochondrial Myopathy, Encephalopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like Episode Syndrome-associated Human Mitochondrial tRNALeu(UUR) Mutation Causes Aminoacylation Deficiency and Concomitant Reduced Association of mRNA with Ribosomes [PDF]
The pathogenetic mechanism of the mitochondrial tRNALeu(UUR) A3243G transition associated with the mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome has been investigated in transmitochondrial cell lines ...

The DNA damage response acts as a safeguardagainst harmful DNA–RNA hybrids ofdifferent origins [PDF]
Despite playing physiological roles in specific situations, DNA–RNA hybrids threat genome integrity. To investigate how cells do counteract spontaneous DNA–RNA hybrids, here we screen an siRNA library covering 240 human DNA damage response (DDR) genes ...

Global analysis of Escherichia coli RNA degradosome function using DNA microarrays [PDF]
RNase E, an essential endoribonuclease of Escherichia coli , interacts through its C-terminal region with multiple other proteins to form a complex termed the RNA degradosome. To investigate the degradosome's proposed role as an RNA decay machine, we used DNA microarrays to globally assess alterations in the steady ...

Formation of a stable RNase Y-RicT (YaaT) complex requires RicA (YmcA) and RicF (YlbF)
In Bacillus subtilis, the RicT (YaaT), RicA (YmcA), and RicF (YlbF) proteins, which form a stable ternary complex, are needed together with RNase Y (Rny) to cleave and thereby stabilize several key transcripts encoding enzymes of intermediary metabolism.

Identifying Subcellular Structure Components in Escherichia Coli by Crosslinking and SEC‐MS
ABSTRACT Cells are comprised of a broad spectrum of structures that compartmentalize biochemical and signaling mechanisms. These structures can be comprised of many biomolecules, but especially lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Techniques are limited to quantify or discover new subcellular structures.
