As in other bacteria, 3'-tails are added post-transcriptionally to Streptomyces coelicolor RNA. These tails are heteropolymeric, and although there are several candidates, the enzyme responsible for their synthesis has not been definitively identified ...

Genetic dissection of domestication traits in interspecific chickpea populations
Abstract Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is a pulse crop that provides an integral source of nutrition for human consumption. The close wild relatives Cicer reticulatum and Cicer echinospermum harbor untapped genetic diversity that can be exploited by chickpea breeders to improve domestic varieties.

The human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis produces a toxin that can stall bacterial growth by blocking the activity of tRNAs. Toxin-antitoxin systems are widespread stress-responsive elements, many of whose functions remain largely unknown.

The frontier between cell and organelle: genome analysis of Candidatus Carsonella ruddii [PDF]
Background Bacterial symbioses are widespread among insects. The early establishment of such symbiotic associations has probably been one of the key factors for the evolutionary success of insects, since it may have allowed access to novel ecological ...

Does 3'-terminal poly(A) stabilize human fibroblast interferon mRNA in oocytes of Xenopus laevis?
Polynucleotide phosphorylase (polyribonucleotide:orthophosphate nucleotidyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.8) purified from Escherichia coli was used enzymatically to deadenylate polyadenylated human fibroblast interferon mRNA preparations obtained from human ...

Identification of Genes Potentially Regulated by Human Polynucleotide Phosphorylase (hPNPaseold-35) Using Melanoma as a Model [PDF]
Human Polynucleotide Phosphorylase (hPNPaseold-35 or PNPT1) is an evolutionarily conserved 3′→5′ exoribonuclease implicated in the regulation of numerous physiological processes including maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis, mtRNA import and aging ...

A genome-wide structure-based survey of nucleotide binding proteins in M. tuberculosis [PDF]
Nucleoside tri-phosphates (NTP) form an important class of small molecule ligands that participate in, and are essential to a large number of biological processes. Here, we seek to identify the NTP binding proteome (NTPome) in M.

Absence of functional TolC protein causes increased stress response gene expression in Sinorhizobium meliloti [PDF]
The TolC protein from Sinorhizobium meliloti has previously been demonstrated to be required for establishing successful biological nitrogen fixation symbiosis with Medicago sativa.

1. An improved method for the purification of Clostridium perfringens polynucleotide phosphorylase (nucleoside diphosphate-polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.8) is described. The product was stable and was highly stimulated by polylysine
