A model for codon position bias in RNA editing [PDF]
, 2005 RNA editing can be crucial for the expression of genetic information via inserting, deleting, or substituting a few nucleotides at specific positions in an RNA sequence. Within coding regions in an RNA sequence, editing usually occurs with a certain bias

Template-directed biopolymerization: tape-copying Turing machines
, 2012 DNA, RNA and proteins are among the most important macromolecules in a living cell. These molecules are polymerized by molecular machines. These natural nano-machines polymerize such macromolecules, adding one monomer at a time, using another linear ...

Functional characterization of a melon alcohol acyl-transferase gene family involved in the biosynthesis of ester volatiles. Identification of the crucial role of a threonine residue for enzyme activity [PDF]
, 2005 Volatile esters, a major class of compounds contributing to the aroma of many fruit, are synthesized by alcohol acyl-transferases (AAT). We demonstrate here that, in Charentais melon (Cucumis melo var.

Enjoy the Silence: Nearly Half of Human tRNA Genes Are Silent
Bioinformatics and Biology Insights, 2019 Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are key components of the translation machinery. They read codons on messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and deliver the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Role of the Mitochondrial Genome During Early Development in Mice [PDF]
, 1973 The role of the mitochondrial genome in early development and differentiation was studied in mouse embryos cultured in vitro from the two to four cell stage to the blastocyst (about 100 cells).

An acidic region of the 89K murine cytomegalovirus immediate early protein interacts with DNA [PDF]
, 1992 The product of the ie 1 gene, the regulatory immediate early protein pp89 of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), interacts with core histones, which can mediate the association of pp89 with DNA.

Nucleolar Localization of HIV-1 Rev Is Required, Yet Insufficient for Production of Infectious Viral Particles. [PDF]
, 2018 Combination antiretroviral therapy fails in complete suppression of HIV-1 due to drug resistance and persistent latency. Novel therapeutic intervention requires knowledge of intracellular pathways responsible for viral replication, specifically those ...

A single amino acid substitution in the alpha 3 domain of an H-2 class I molecule abrogates reactivity with CTL. [PDF]
, 1987 We previously described a somatic cell expressing a variant H-2Dd molecule that did not serve as a target for alloreactive anti-Dd CTL. The mutant cell line had been isolated by its failure to express a serological epitope present on the H-2Dd alpha 3 ...
