5SRNAdb: an information resource for 5S ribosomal RNAs [PDF]
, 2015 Ribosomal 5S RNA (5S rRNA) is the ubiquitous RNA component found in the large subunit of ribosomes in all known organisms. Due to its small size, abundance and evolutionary conservation 5S rRNA for many years now is used as a model molecule in studies on

The Curious Case of CysE: Diversity and Distribution of Serine Acetyltransferases in Bacteria
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Serine acetyltransferase (CysE) is a member of the left‐handed β‐helix family of acetyltransferases that catalyze the rate limiting step in de novo cysteine biosynthesis. There are two isoforms of CysE that differ in length, with the shorter isoform lacking approximately 76 amino acids at the N‐terminus of the protein from the serine ...

The large-scale organization of metabolic networks [PDF]
, 2000 In a cell or microorganism the processes that generate mass, energy, information transfer, and cell fate specification are seamlessly integrated through a complex network of various cellular constituents and reactions. However, despite the key role these

Mouse genome engineering uncovers 18 genes dispensable for male reproduction
Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Male infertility is an intricate multifactorial disease involving the interplay between genetic and environmental factors. Genetic anomalies account for more than 15% of all male infertility cases; however, diagnosing them exhibits enormous challenges due to variable symptomatic presentations and limited knowledge of gene functions.

Automatic generation of pseudoknotted RNAs taxonomy
BMC Bioinformatics, 2023 Background The ability to compare RNA secondary structures is important in understanding their biological function and for grouping similar organisms into families by looking at evolutionarily conserved sequences such as 16S rRNA. Most comparison methods
