The 23S Ribosomal RNA From Pyrococcus furiosus Is Circularly Permuted [PDF]
Synthesis and assembly of ribosomal components are fundamental cellular processes and generally well-conserved within the main groups of organisms. Yet, provocative variations to the general schemes exist. We have discovered an unusual processing pathway

Sequence specific detection of bacterial 23S ribosomal RNA by TLR13
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) detect microbial infections and trigger innate immune responses. Among vertebrate TLRs, the role of TLR13 and its ligand are unknown. Here we show that TLR13 detects the 23S ribosomal RNA of both gram-positive and gram-negative

Types of 23S Ribosomal RNA Point Mutations and Therapeutic Outcomes for Helicobacter pylori
Background/Aims: Point mutations in the 23S ribosomal RNA gene have been associated with Helicobacter pylori clarithromycin resistance. This study aimed to detect the prevalence of these point mutations and to investigate the role of different point ...

rRNA loss induced by rifampicin addition in Escherichia coli reflects extraction artifacts rather than in vivo degradation [PDF]
When measuring RNA stability in Escherichia coli, RNA synthesis is usually stopped using rifampicin. Although rRNAs are considered stable in vivo, Hamouche et al. Ribosomal RNA degradation induced by the bacterial RNA polymerase inhibitor rifampicin. RNA

Transcriptomic profiling of ceftriaxone-tolerant phenotypes of Neisseria gonorrhoeae reveals downregulation of ribosomal genes — a pilot study [PDF]
Antibiotic tolerance is associated with failure of antibiotic treatment and accelerates the development of antimicrobial resistance. The molecular mechanisms underlying antimicrobial tolerance remain poorly understood.

Structure of Ribosome-Inactivating Protein from Mirabilis jalapa and Its L12-Stalk-Dependent Inhibition of Escherichia coli Ribosome [PDF]
Mirabilis antiviral protein (MAP) is the type I ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP), which consists of an RNA N-glycosylase domain with no carbohydrate-binding domain.

Types of 23S Ribosomal RNA Point Mutations Affecting Eradication Rates in Clarithromycin-Based Triple Therapy [PDF]
Objectives The A2142G and A2143G mutations in the 23S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) of Helicobacter pylori are the most common mutations associated with clarithromycin resistance. This study aimed to determine the differences in H. pylori eradication
