tRNA-isoleucine-tryptophan Composite Gene [PDF]
Biochemical and biophysical Research Communications 339 (2005)
37-40, 2005 Transfer-RNA genes in archaea often have introns intervening between exon sequences. The structural motif at the boundary between exon and intron is the bulge-helix-bulge. Computational investigations of these boundary structures in H. marismortui lead us to propose that tRNA-isoleucine and tRNA-tryptophan genes are co-located.

RNA-Seq analysis of splicing in Plasmodium falciparum uncovers new splice junctions, alternative splicing and splicing of antisense transcripts. [PDF]
, 2011 Over 50% of genes in Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest human malaria parasite, contain predicted introns, yet experimental characterization of splicing in this organism remains incomplete.

Stability domains of actin genes and genomic evolution [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 76, 051916 (2007), 2007 In eukaryotic genes the protein coding sequence is split into several fragments, the exons, separated by non-coding DNA stretches, the introns. Prokaryotes do not have introns in their genome. We report the calculations of stability domains of actin genes for various organisms in the animal, plant and fungi kingdoms.

Identifying RNA splicing factors using IFT genes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
, 2018 Intraflagellar transport moves proteins in and out of flagella/cilia and it is essential for the assembly of these organelles. Using whole-genome sequencing, we identified splice site mutations in two IFT genes,

PLASTID TRNL INTRON VARIABILITY IN FABOIDEAE SPECIES (FABACEAE)
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2015 The intron located between the first and second nucleotide of the leucine tRNA anticodon is the only representative of group I introns in higher plants.

evolution, structure and function of metazoan splicing factor PRPF39 [PDF]
, 2019 In the yeast U1 snRNP the Prp39/Prp42 heterodimer is essential for early steps of spliceosome assembly. In metazoans no Prp42 ortholog exists, raising the question how the heterodimer is functionally substituted.

Cellular bases of the RNA metabolism dysfunction in motor neurons of a murine model of spinal muscular atrophy: Role of Cajal bodies and the nucleolus [PDF]
, 2017 Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by a homozygous deletion or mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene that leads to reduced levels of SMN protein resulting in degeneration of motor neurons (MNs).

$αβ$ DCA method identifies unspecific binding but specific disruption of the group I intron by the StpA chaperone [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Chaperone protein - the most disordered among all protein groups - help RNAs fold into their functional structure by destabilizing misfolded configurations or stabilizing the functional ones. But disentangling the mechanism underlying RNA chaperoning is challenging, mostly due to inherent disorder of the chaperones and the transient nature of their ...

The regulation of matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors [PDF]
, 2007 The matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of 23 enzymes in man. These enzymes were originally described as cleaving extracellular matrix (ECM) substrates with a predominant role in ECM homeostasis, but it is now clear that they have much wider ...
