Ribosomal DNA spacer-length polymorphisms in barley: mendelian inheritance, chromosomal location, and population dynamics.

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1984
Spacer-length (sl) variation in ribosomal RNA gene clusters (rDNA) was surveyed in 502 individual barley plants, including samples from 50 accessions of cultivated barley, 25 accessions of its wild ancestor, and five generations of composite cross II ...

New copolymers as hosts of ribosomal RNA

open access: yesBMC Chemistry, 2019
Functionalized copolymers were synthesized and are proposed as hosts of RNA. The copolymers are based on carboxymethyl cellulose and poly-(ethylene glycol)-OH. These copolymers were functionalized with two amino acids, either lysine or histidine, through

A Unifying Scenario on the Origin and Evolution of Cellular and Viral Domains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The cellular theory on the nature of life has been one of the first major advancements in biology. Viruses, however, are the most abundant life forms, and their exclusion from mainstream biology and the Tree of Life (TOL) is a major paradox in biology ...

The unknotted strands of life: knots are very rare in RNA structures [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
The ongoing effort to detect and characterize physical entanglement in biopolymers has so far established that knots are present in many globular proteins and also abound in viral DNA packaged inside bacteriophages. RNA molecules, on the other hand, have not yet been systematically screened for the occurrence of physical knots.

Identification of the prebiotic translation apparatus within the contemporary ribosome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A structural element that could have existed independently in the prebiotic era was identified at the active site of the contemporary ribosome. It is suggested to have functioned as a proto-ribosome catalyzing peptide bond formation and non-coded ...

Loss of m1acp3Ψ Ribosomal RNA Modification Is a Major Feature of Cancer

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: The ribosome is an RNA-protein complex that is essential for translation in all domains of life. The structural and catalytic core of the ribosome is its ribosomal RNA (rRNA).

Sequential domain assembly of ribosomal protein S3 drives 40S subunit maturation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Ribosome biogenesis involves the hierarchical assembly of several proteins and RNA components. Here the authors describe a mechanism for ribosomal protein S3 incorporation into 40S ribosomal subunits that involves S3 dimerization and stepwise ...

A genomic approach to the study of Tribolium castaneum genetics, development & evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
During the last decade, Tribolium castaneum has become the insect of choice for comparative genetics and developmental studies outside of drosophilids. Until recently, most molecular studies have focused on the comparative analysis of early development ...
