Comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes from 14 genera of Thymelaeaceae revealed variation in gene content, ranging from 128 to 142 genes, primarily influenced by IR expansion/contraction events and pseudogenization of ndhF, ndhI, and ndhG. Two large inversions were detected within the large single‐copy region, including a synapomorphic inversion ...

c-Myc induced changes in higher order rDNA structure accompany growth factor stimulation of quiescent cells [PDF]
Human c-Myc is believed to be a high level coordinator of protein synthesis capacity and cell growth rate, capable of activating transcription by all three nuclear RNA Polymerases.

The Amplified Ribosomal DNA of Dytiscid Beetles [PDF]
During oogenesis in many animals there is a massive extrachromosomal synthesis of the genes for ribosomal RNA. In Dytiscid beetles, as in the toad Xenopus , the amplified ribosomal DNA occurs as circular molecules of different sizes. The circles fall into size classes that are integral multiples of a unit circle. It

Analysis of Treacher Collins syndrome 4‐associated mutations in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Fission yeast models carrying Treacher Collins syndrome type 4‐associated mutations reveal that impaired processivity of RNA polymerase I leads to defective rRNA transcription. This study highlights the essential role of a conserved arginine residue in Pol I elongation and provides mechanistic insight into the pathogenesis of ribosomopathies.

ABH2 Couples Regulation of Ribosomal DNA Transcription with DNA Alkylation Repair
Transcription has been linked to DNA damage. How the most highly transcribed mammalian ribosomal (rDNA) genes maintain genome integrity in the absence of transcription-coupled DNA damage repair is poorly understood.

The Mitochondrial Myopathy, Encephalopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like Episode Syndrome-associated Human Mitochondrial tRNALeu(UUR) Mutation Causes Aminoacylation Deficiency and Concomitant Reduced Association of mRNA with Ribosomes [PDF]
The pathogenetic mechanism of the mitochondrial tRNALeu(UUR) A3243G transition associated with the mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome has been investigated in transmitochondrial cell lines ...

Balancing copy number in ribosomal DNA [PDF]
Ecologists recognize the balance of nature as a complex system that arises from interacting and connected parts; disturbing the balance can affect other species in nonlinear and dynamic ways. Like ecosystems, the cell and genome are extensively connected by an abundance of molecular interactions. Upsetting the molecular balance, through changes in gene

NF90–NF45 functions as a negative regulator of methyltransferase‐like 3/14 (METTL3/14)‐mediated N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) modification on primary microRNAs (pri‐miRNAs). NF90–NF45 binds to anti‐oncogenic pri‐miRNAs and inhibits their m6A modification, thereby suppressing the biogenesis of anti‐oncogenic miRNAs.

Cloning and sequencing of the complicated rDNA gene family of Bos taurus
The rDNA genes coding for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in animals are repeat sequences with high GC content and complicated structure. Based on the sequences of human ribosomal DNA repeat unit and transcription unit and the long and accurate PCR method with LA ...

cis-acting sequences and trans-acting factors in the localization of mRNA for mitochondrial ribosomal proteins [PDF]
mRNA localization is a conserved post-transcriptional process crucial for a variety of systems. Although several mechanisms have been identified, emerging evidence suggests that most transcripts reach the protein functional site by moving along ...
