Ribosomal DNA magnification in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1978
Strains monosomic for chromosome I of Saccharomyces cerevisiae contain 25 to 35% fewer rRNA genes than do normal diploid strains. When these strains are repeatedly subcultured, colonies are isolated that have magnified their number of rRNA genes to the diploid amount while remaining monosomic for chromosome I.

NoRC, a novel chromatin remodeling complex involved in ribosomal RNA gene silencing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Regulation of gene expression takes place in the nucleus in a highly structured and condensed nucleoprotein environment, called chromatin (Felsenfeld and Groudine, 2003; Khorasanizadeh, 2004; Vaquero et al., 2003).

The long-range interaction map of ribosomal DNA arrays. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2018
The repeated rDNA array gives rise to the nucleolus, an organelle that is central to cellular processes as varied as stress response, cell cycle regulation, RNA modification, cell metabolism, and genome stability.

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

RNA polymerase I mutant affects ribosomal RNA processing and ribosomal DNA stability

open access: yesRNA Biology
Transcription is a major contributor to genomic instability. The ribosomal RNA (rDNA) gene locus consists of a head-to-tail repeat of the most actively transcribed genes in the genome.

Investigating the Existence of Ribosomal Protein L5 Gene in Syrian Strain of Leishmania tropica Genome: Sequencing It and Evaluating Its Immune Response as DNA Vaccine

open access: yesJournal of Parasitology Research, 2021
Cutaneous leishmaniasis in Syria is caused mainly by Leishmania tropica. It represents a serious health problem, which has aggravated further after the civil war in the country.

A context‐dependent modulatory role for eIF6 in acquired resistance to vemurafenib in melanoma

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Acquired resistance to vemurafenib upregulates the translation factor eIF6 in melanoma cells. Silencing eIF6 in resistant cells reduces proliferation and partially restores drug sensitivity, whereas its overexpression increases sensitivity across melanoma lines regardless of BRAF status, via modulation of mTOR, S6K, and MAPK signaling.

SCREENING OF SECONDARY METABOLITE-PRODUCING BACTERIA ASSOCIATED WITH CORALS USING 16S rDNA-BASED APPROACH [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
A total of 42 coral-associated bacteria were screened for their ability to produce secondary metabolites by using 16S rDNA-based approach. A specific oligonucleotides primer was used to amplify DNA non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS).

Molecular systematics of the Phyllachorales (ascomycota, fungi) based on 18S ribosomal DNA sequences

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2003
In order to evaluate the monophyly of the Phyllachorales from a molecular standpoint and elucidate its phylogenetic relationships with other orders, a segment of the 18S rRNA gene from several representatives of the Phyllachorales, including species of ...

PCR primers for metazoan mitochondrial 12S ribosomal DNA sequences. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Assessment of the biodiversity of communities of small organisms is most readily done using PCR-based analysis of environmental samples consisting of mixtures of individuals.
