Mosaic Arrangement of the 5S rDNA in the Aquatic Plant Landoltia punctata (Lemnaceae)
Duckweeds are a group of monocotyledonous aquatic plants in the Araceae superfamily, represented by 37 species divided into five genera. Duckweeds are the fastest growing flowering plants and are distributed around the globe; moreover, these plants have ...

Role of 5S RNA in the Functions of 50S Ribosomal Subunits [PDF]
50S ribosomal subunits from Bacillus stearothermophilus can be reconstituted from their dissociated components, namely a 5S RNA-free protein fraction, a 5S RNA-free 23S ribosomal RNA fraction, and purified 5S RNA.

Direct activation of RNA polymerase III transcription by c-Myc
The proto-oncogene product c-Myc has a direct role in both metazoan cell growth and division. RNA polymerase III (pol III) is involved in the generation of transfer RNA and 5S ribosomal RNA, and these molecules must be produced in bulk to meet the need ...

Mycobacterial RNA isolation optimized for non-coding RNA: high fidelity isolation of 5S rRNA from Mycobacterium bovis BCG reveals novel post-transcriptional processing and a complete spectrum of modified ribonucleosides [PDF]
A major challenge in the study of mycobacterial RNA biology is the lack of a comprehensive RNA isolation method that overcomes the unusual cell wall to faithfully yield the full spectrum of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) species.

Stochasticity and traffic jams in the transcription of ribosomal RNA: Intriguing role of termination and antitermination [PDF]
In fast growing bacteria, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is required to be transcribed at very high rates to sustain the high cellular demand on ribosome synthesis. This results in dense traffic of RNA polymerases (RNAP). We developed a stochastic model, integrating results of single-molecule and quantitative in vivo studies of E.

Enterobius vermicularis: ancient DNA from north and south American human coprolites
A molecular paleoparasitological diagnostic approach was developed for Enterobius vermicularis. Ancient DNA was extracted from 27 coprolites from archaeological sites in Chile and USA.

Stochastic kinetics of ribosomes: single motor properties and collective behavior [PDF]
Synthesis of protein molecules in a cell are carried out by ribosomes. A ribosome can be regarded as a molecular motor which utilizes the input chemical energy to move on a messenger RNA (mRNA) track that also serves as a template for the polymerization of the corresponding protein.

The biosynthetic mechanism of novel natural tetramic acid S‐TeA in Alternaria alternata is elucidated. Threonine acts as a precursor for 2‐amino‐3‐methylhexanoic acid (AMHA) synthesis via eight key enzymes from the branched‐chain amino acid biosynthetic pathway in the mitochondrion, wherein three unique enzymes (IPMS, IPMDH, and ISMD) play critical ...

Clustering of bacteria by the triplet composition of 5S RNA [PDF]
The relationship between the structure of nucleotide sequences, the function they encode, and the taxonomy of the host is an important subject of study for molecular biologists and bioinformaticians, as well as specialists in processing big data arrays ...
