RNA polymerase I activation and hibernation: unique mechanisms for unique genes

open access: yesTranscription, 2018
In yeast, transcription of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) by RNA polymerase I (Pol I) is regulated by unique mechanisms acting at the level of the enzyme. Under stress situations such as starvation, Pol I hibernates through dimerization. When growth conditions are

Witnessing the Evolution of RNA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The RNA World theory postulates that at a certain point around 4 billion years ago during an RNA World period, a molecule, possibly RNA, developed the ability to self-replicate via polymerization.

Life on a planet of its own: regulation of RNA polymerase I transcription in the nucleolus.

open access: yesGenes & Development, 2003
Mammalian cells contain 100 or more copies of tandemly repeated ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes per haploid genome. These genes are transcribed with high efficiency to keep up with the cell’s metabolic activity and demand for ribosomes.

Identification of SL addition trans-splicing acceptor sites in the internal transcribed spacer I region of pre-rRNA in Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2012
Trypanosomatidae is a family of early branching eukaryotes harbouring a distinctive repertoire of gene expression strategies. Functional mature messenger RNA is generated via the trans-splicing and polyadenylation processing of constitutively transcribed

The Phage-Encoded N-Acetyltransferase Rac Mediates Inactivation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Transcription by Cleavage of the RNA Polymerase Alpha Subunit

open access: yesViruses, 2020
In this study, we describe the biological function of the phage-encoded protein RNA polymerase alpha subunit cleavage protein (Rac), a predicted Gcn5-related acetyltransferase encoded by phiKMV-like viruses.

SAF-A Forms a Complex with BRG1 and Both Components Are Required for RNA Polymerase II Mediated Transcription [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: Scaffold attachment factor A (SAF-A) participates in the regulation of gene expression by organizing chromatin into transcriptionally active domains and by interacting directly with RNA polymerase II. Methodology: Here we use co-localization,

The TyrR protein of Escherichia coli is a class I transcription activator [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The purified TyrR protein and phenylalanine were sufficient to activate in vitro transcription from the tyrP promoter by wild-type RNA polymerase. Such TyrR-mediated activation did not occur when the mutant alpha 235 RNA polymerase was used, indicating ...

Translocation pause of remdesivir-containing primer/template RNA duplex within SARS-CoV-2’s RNA polymerase complexes

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
The mechanism of remdesivir incorporation into the RNA primer by the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) remains to be fully established at the molecular level.

SARS-CoV-2 and miRNA-like inhibition power [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
(1) Background: RNA viruses and especially coronaviruses could act inside host cells not only by building their own proteins, but also by perturbing the cell metabolism. We show the possibility of miRNA-like inhibitions by the SARS-CoV-2 concerning for example the hemoglobin and type I interferons syntheses, hence highly perturbing oxygen distribution ...

Identification of Five Putative Yeast RNA Helicase Genes [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
The RNA helicase gene family encodes a group of eight homologous proteins that share regions of sequence similarity. This group of evolutionarily conserved proteins presumably all utilize ATP (or some other nucleoside triphosphate) as an energy source ...
