Systematic identification of gene families for use as markers for phylogenetic and phylogeny- driven ecological studies of bacteria and archaea and their major subgroups [PDF]
With the astonishing rate that the genomic and metagenomic sequence data sets are accumulating, there are many reasons to constrain the data analyses.

Functional Modification of 16S Ribosomal RNA by Kethoxal [PDF]
Kethoxal reacts with 30S ribosomal subunits to give totally inactive particles, as measured by in vitro protein synthesis. It is postulated that functional modification occurs at the binding site for transfer RNA since ( a ) loss of specific binding of transfer RNA, but not binding of ...

Choice of 16S Ribosomal RNA Primers Impacts Male Urinary Microbiota Profiling
Accessibility to next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has enabled the profiling of microbial communities living in distinct habitats. 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing is widely used for microbiota profiling with NGS technologies.

Mediating Ribosomal Competition by Splitting Pools [PDF]
Synthetic biology constructs often rely upon the introduction of "circuit" genes into host cells, in order to express novel proteins and thus endow the host with a desired behavior. The expression of these new genes "consumes" existing resources in the cell, such as ATP, RNA polymerase, amino acids, and ribosomes. Ribosomal competition among strands of

Exclusion model of mRNA translation with collision-induced ribosome drop-off [PDF]
The translation of messenger RNA transcripts to proteins is commonly modeled as a one-dimensional totally asymmetric exclusion process with extended particles. Here we focus on the effects of premature termination of translation through the irreversible detachment of ribosomes.

Role of 16‐S RNA in Ribosome Messenger Recognition [PDF]
The deoxyoctanucleotide (5′‐3′)d(A‐A‐G‐G‐A‐G‐G‐T), which is complementary to the 3′ end of 16‐S RNA, inhibits the formation of the complex between the 30‐S subunit and MS2 RNA described in the preceding paper. If the complex is preformed, the octanucleotide cannot prevent entry of the complex into the ribosome cycle upon supplementation with the ...

Recognition of Ribosomal RNA Sites in DNA, I. Analysis of the E. coli System [PDF]
The evidence recently presented of specific hybridization between bacterial ribosomal RNA and homologous DNA1-3 has indicated the possibility of a biochemical approach to the problem of the identification of ribosomal RNA sites in DNA.

Location of Ribosomal Protein Binding Sites on 16S Ribosomal RNA [PDF]
The distribution of ribosomal protein binding sites on the 16S ribosomal RNA molecule has been analyzed by limited ribonuclease hydrolysis of RNA-protein complexes, as well as by the interaction of individual proteins with RNA fragments purified from partial enzymatic digests. Of the six 30S subunit proteins known to interact directly with
