Plant tubulin intronics

Cell Biology International, 2008
AbstractIntrons of plant tubulin genes are useful molecular tools to study IME (Intron Mediated Enhancement of gene expression) and to define plant genetic and evolutionary relationships through ILP (Intron Length Polymorphism). Here we show that the intron present within the 5′UTR sequence of some rice β‐tubulin genes can sustain IME in rice ...

Intron Biology, Focusing on Group II Introns, the Ancestors of Spliceosomal Introns

2015
Self-splicing group II introns are large ribozymes and mobile retroelements initially identified in the mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes of lower eukaryotes and plants and subsequently found in bacteria and archaea. Group II introns display structural, functional and mechanistic similarities to eukaryotic pre-mRNA nuclear introns, which may have ...

The recent origins of introns

Current Biology, 1991
Accumulating evidence that introns are highly restricted in their phylogenetic distribution strongly supports the view that introns were inserted late in eukaryotic evolution into preformed genes and, hence, that exon-shuffling played no role in the assembly of primordial genes.

Loss of two introns from the Magnolia tripetala mitochondrial cox2 gene implicates horizontal gene transfer and gene conversion as a novel mechanism of intron loss.

Molecular biology and evolution, 2012
Intron loss is often thought to occur through retroprocessing, which is the reverse transcription and genomic integration of a spliced transcript. In plant mitochondria, several unambiguous examples of retroprocessing are supported by the parallel loss ...

Mobile group II introns.

Annual Review of Genetics, 2004
Mobile group II introns, found in bacterial and organellar genomes, are both catalytic RNAs and retrotransposable elements. They use an extraordinary mobility mechanism in which the excised intron RNA reverse splices directly into a DNA target site and ...

Intron Splicing and Intron-mediated Enhanced Expression in Monocots

1992
Publisher Summary The basic recognition sites (5 ‘ , 3‘, and branchpoint) for intron splicing in plants do not differ significantly from those of vertebrates. It is also demonstrated, by the mutations of splice-site recognition sequences, that the 5 ‘ GT or 3‘ AG dinucleotides are essential for proper splicing in monocots.

Intron-Mediated RNA Interference, Intronic MicroRNAs, and Applications

2010
Nearly 97% of the human genome is non-coding DNA. The intron occupies most of it around the gene-coding regions. Numerous intronic sequences have been recently found to encode microRNAs (miRNAs), responsible for RNA-mediated gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi)-like pathways.
