Ribosomal RNA is the catalytic portion of ribosomes, and undergoes a variety of conformational changes during translation. Structural changes in ribosomal RNA can be facilitated by the presence of modified nucleotides. Helix 31 of bacterial 16S ribosomal

Efficient depletion of ribosomal RNA for RNA sequencing in planarians
Background The astounding regenerative abilities of planarian flatworms prompt steadily growing interest in examining their molecular foundation. Planarian regeneration was found to require hundreds of genes and is hence a complex process.

Structural basis of ribosomal RNA transcription regulation
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) expression is regulated at the initiation stage of RNA synthesis. Here, the authors report cryo-EM structures of E. coli RNA polymerase and rRNA promoter complex with DksA/ppGpp on the way to open complex formation, identifying key ...

Ribosomes and ribosomal RNA as chaperones for folding of proteins
Provocative recent reports indicate that the large subunits of either prokaryotic or eukaryotic ribosomes have the capacity to promote refolding of denatured enzymes.Salt-washed Escherichia coli ribosomes are shown to promote refolding of denatured rhodanese.

Idiosyncratic evolution of conserved eukaryote proteins that are similar in sequence to archaeal or bacterial proteins [PDF]
Sequence comparisons have been made between the proteins of 571 prokaryote species including 46 archaea and 525 bacteria and the set of human proteins.

Mutations in the C9orf72 gene represent the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neurodegenerative disease. Using patient‐derived neurons and C. elegans models, we find that the nucleoporin Nup107 is dysregulated in C9orf72‐associated ALS. Conversely, reducing Nup107 levels mitigates disease‐related changes.

Placeholder factors in ribosome biogenesis: please, pave my way
The synthesis of cytoplasmic eukaryotic ribosomes is an extraordinarily energy-demanding cellular activity that occurs progressively from the nucleolus to the cytoplasm.

Three out of the seven ribosomal RNA operons in Escherichia coli end in dual terminator structures. Between the two terminators of each operon is a short sequence that we report here to be an sRNA gene, transcribed as part of the ribosomal RNA primary ...

Hepatitis C virus 3'UTR regulates viral translation through direct interactions with the host translation machinery. [PDF]
The 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) messenger RNA stimulates viral translation by an undetermined mechanism. We identified a high affinity interaction, conserved among different HCV genotypes, between the HCV 3'UTR and the host ...
