Polymorphism of the rps16 gene intron in Malus Mill. and related Rosaceae Juss. species
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2017 The intron of the chloroplast rps16 gene encoding ribosomal protein 16S belongs to group II introns, which have the capacity to self-splice. The sequence of this intron may be quite polymorphic and is widely used for molecular-genetic studies of ...

Group II introns break new boundaries: presence in a bilaterian's genome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Group II introns are ribozymes, removing themselves from their primary transcripts, as well as mobile genetic elements, transposing via an RNA intermediate, and are thought to be the ancestors of spliceosomal introns. Although common in bacteria and most

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.

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 Pseudo-nitzschia is an important genus of diatoms with many species capable of inducing harmful algae blooms (HABs) in coastal and oceanic waters, some of which produce the toxin domoic acid (DA), a neurotoxin that causes amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP)

A stepwise emergence of evolution in the RNA world
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.How did biological evolution emerge from chemical reactions? This perspective proposes a gradual scenario of self‐organization among RNA molecules, where catalytic feedback on random mixtures plays the central role. Short oligomers cross‐ligate, and self‐assembly enables heritable variations. An event of template‐externalization marks the transition to

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Glutaredoxin (Grx) 3 proteins contain a thioredoxin domain and one to three class II Grx domains. These proteins play a crucial role in iron homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. In human Grx3, at least one of the two Grx domains, together with the thioredoxin domain, is essential for its function in iron metabolism.

Global Regulators Orchestrate Group II Intron Retromobility [PDF]
Molecular Cell, 2009 Group II introns are hypothesized to share common ancestry with both nuclear spliceosomal introns and retrotransposons, which collectively occupy the majority of genome space in higher eukaryotes. These phylogenetically diverse introns are mobile retroelements that move through an RNA intermediate.

The largest reservoir of mitochondrial introns is a relic of an ancestral split gene [PDF]
, 2010 In eukaryotes, introns are located in nuclear and organelle genes from several kingdoms (ref. 1-4). Large introns (0.1 to 5 kbp) are frequent in mitochondrial genomes of plant and fungi (ref.
