Genomic function during the lampbrush chromosome stage of amphibian oogenesis [PDF]
Throughout its lengthy developmental history the disposition of the genetic material in the amphibian oocyte nucleus differs from that in other cell types.

Background Expression systems based on self-cleavable intein domains allow the generation of recombinant proteins with a C-terminal thioester. This uniquely reactive C-terminus can be used in native chemical ligation reactions to introduce synthetic ...

Inhibition of Ribonuclease P Activity by Retinoids [PDF]
The effect of two naturally occurring (retinol and all-trans retinoic acid) and two synthetic (isotretinoin and acitretin) analogs of vitamin A (retinoids) on tRNA biogenesis was investigated employing the RNase P of Dictyostelium discoideum as an in vitro experimental system.

TRIM39-RPP21 Variants (∆19InsCCC) Are Not Associated with Juvenile Idiopathic Epilepsy in Egyptian Arabian Horses. [PDF]
Juvenile idiopathic epilepsy (JIE) is an inherited disease characterized by recurrent seizures during the first year of life in Egyptian Arabian horses. Definitive diagnosis requires an electroencephalogram (EEG) performed by a veterinary specialist.

Kaposi’s sarcoma, an AIDS-defining illness, is caused by Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), an oncogenic virus. In this study, we engineered ribozymes derived from ribonuclease P (RNase P) catalytic RNA with targeting against the mRNA ...

Synthesis and evaluation of troponoids as a new class of antibiotics [PDF]
Novel antibiotics are urgently needed. The troponoids [tropones, tropolones, and α-hydroxytropolones (α-HT)] can have anti-bacterial activity. We synthesized or purchased 92 troponoids and evaluated their antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus ...

The bacterial ribonuclease P holoenzyme requires specific, conserved residues for efficient catalysis and substrate positioning. [PDF]
RNase P is an RNA-based enzyme primarily responsible for 5′-end pre-tRNA processing. A structure of the bacterial RNase P holoenzyme in complex with tRNAPhe revealed the structural basis for substrate recognition, identified the active site location, and

ConSole: using modularity of contact maps to locate solenoid domains in protein structures. [PDF]
BackgroundPeriodic proteins, characterized by the presence of multiple repeats of short motifs, form an interesting and seldom-studied group. Due to often extreme divergence in sequence, detection and analysis of such motifs is performed more reliably on

A functional RNase P protein subunit of bacterial origin in some eukaryotes [PDF]
RNase P catalyzes 5′-maturation of tRNAs. While bacterial RNase P comprises an RNA catalyst and a protein cofactor, the eukaryotic (nuclear) variant contains an RNA and up to ten proteins, all unrelated to the bacterial protein.
