Retinal pigment epithelium degeneration caused by aggregation of PRPF31 and the role of HSP70 family of proteins [PDF]
Background Mutations in pre-mRNA splicing factor PRPF31 can lead to retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Although the exact disease mechanism remains unknown, it has been hypothesized that haploinsufficiency might be involved in the ...

VCAM-1 Is Upregulated in Uranium Miners Compared to Other Miners
The United States has a rich history of mining including uranium (U)-mining, coal mining, and other metal mining. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are largely understudied in miners and recent literature suggests that when compared to non-U miners, U-miners

AbstractShort-read RNA-Seq analyses of grafted plants have led to the proposal that large numbers of mRNAs move over long distances between plant tissues, acting as potential signals. The detection of transported transcripts by RNA-Seq is both experimentally and computationally challenging, requiring successful grafting, delicate harvesting, rigorous ...

Towards molecular systems biology of gene transcription and regulation [PDF]
Ten years after the determination of the RNA polymerase 11 structure, the basic mechanism of mRNA synthesis during gene transcription is known. In the future, the initiation and regulation of transcription must be studied with a combination of structural

SCIFER: approach for analysis of LINE-1 mRNA expression in single cells at a single locus resolution
Background Endogenous expression of L1 mRNA is the first step in an L1-initiated mutagenesis event. However, the contribution of individual cell types to patterns of organ-specific L1 mRNA expression remains poorly understood, especially at single-locus ...

Interactions of the Streptococcus pneumoniae Toxin-Antitoxin RelBE Proteins with Their Target DNA
Type II bacterial toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are found in most bacteria, archaea, and mobile genetic elements. TAs are usually found as a bi-cistronic operon composed of an unstable antitoxin and a stable toxin that targets crucial cellular functions ...

Members of a large retroposon family are determinants of post-transcriptional gene expression in Leishmania. [PDF]
Trypanosomatids are unicellular protists that include the human pathogens Leishmania spp. (leishmaniasis), Trypanosoma brucei (sleeping sickness), and Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas disease). Analysis of their recently completed genomes confirmed the presence
