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

Aptazyme-Mediated Regulation of 16S Ribosomal RNA
Developing artificial genetic switches in order to control gene expression via an external stimulus is an important aim in chemical and synthetic biology. Here, we expand the application range of RNA switches to the regulation of 16S rRNA function in Escherichia coli.

Mutations in 16S ribosomal RNA disrupt antibiotic-RNA interactions. [PDF]
Two of six mutations at a base-paired site in Escherichia coli 16S rRNA confer resistance to nine different aminoglycoside antibiotics in vivo. Chemical probing of mutant and wild-type ribosomes in the presence of paromomycin indicates that interactions between the antibiotic and 16S rRNA in mutant ribosomes are disrupted.

Taxonomy of anaerobic digestion microbiome reveals biases associated with the applied high throughput sequencing strategies [PDF]
In the past few years, many studies investigated the anaerobic digestion microbiome by means of 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. Results obtained from these studies were compared to each other without taking into consideration the followed procedure for ...

Action spectra for UV-light induced RNA–RNA crosslinking in 16S ribosomal RNA in the ribosome [PDF]
UV irradiation induces intramolecular crosslinks in ribosomal RNA in the ribosome. These crosslinks occur between nucleotides distant in primary sequence and they are specific, limited in number and have crosslinking efficiencies sufficient to allow their use in monitoring conformational changes.

The 16S ribosomal RNA mutation database (16SMDB) [PDF]
The 16S ribosomal RNA mutation database (16SMDB) provides a list of mutated positions in 16S ribosomal RNA from Escherichia coli and the identity of each alteration. Information provided for each mutation includes: (i) a brief description of the phenotype(s) associated with each mutation; (ii) whether a mutant phenotype has been detected by in vivo or ...

Stochastic theory of protein synthesis and polysome: ribosome profile on a single mRNA transcript [PDF]
The process of polymerizing a protein by a ribosome, using a messenger RNA (mRNA) as the corresponding template, is called {\it translation}. Ribosome may be regarded as a molecular motor for which the mRNA template serves also as the track. Often several ribosomes may translate the same (mRNA) simultaneously.

Optimizing PCR primers targeting the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene
Background Targeted amplicon sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene is one of the key tools for studying microbial diversity. The accuracy of this approach strongly depends on the choice of primer pairs and, in particular, on the balance between ...

Traffic of interacting ribosomes on mRNA during protein synthesis: effects of chemo-mechanics of individual ribosomes [PDF]
Many {\it ribosomes} simultaneously move on the same messenger RNA (mRNA), each synthesizing separately a copy of the same protein. In contrast to the earlier models, here {\it we develop a ``unified'' theoretical model} that not only incorporates the {\it mutual exclusions} of the interacting ribosomes, but also describes explicitly the mechano ...
