Fluorescent protein tagging confirms the presence of ribosomal proteins atDrosophilapolytene chromosomes [PDF]
\ud \ud Most ribosomal proteins (RPs) are stoichiometrically incorporated into ribosomal subunits and play essential roles in ribosome biogenesis and function.

On the nucleolar size and density in human early granulocytic progenitors, myeloblasts
Human myeloblasts were studied in bone marrow of patients suffering from chronic phase of chronic myeloid leukaemia to provide more information on the nucleolar diameter in these early granulocytic progenitors. These cells are a convenient model for such

Targeted knock-down of miR21 primary transcripts using snoMEN vectors induces apoptosis in human cancer cell lines [PDF]
We have previously reported an antisense technology, 'snoMEN vectors', for targeted knock-down of protein coding mRNAs using human snoRNAs manipulated to contain short regions of sequence complementarity with the mRNA target. Here we characterise the use

Jouvence a small nucleolar RNA required in the gut extends lifespan in Drosophila
Small non-coding RNAs contribute to the regulation of aging. Here the authors identify a small nucleolar RNA, the snoRNA jouvence, which extends the lifespan of fruit flies through its function in the gut, and is conserved in humans.

Profiling of RNAs from Human Islet-Derived Exosomes in a Model of Type 1 Diabetes [PDF]
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by the immune-mediated destruction of insulin-producing islet β cells. Biomarkers capable of identifying T1D risk and dissecting disease-related heterogeneity represent an unmet clinical need.

Evolution of small nucleolar RNAs in nematodes [PDF]
In contrast to mRNAs, which are templates for translating proteins, non-protein coding (npc) RNAs (also known as 'non-coding' RNA, ncRNA), exhibit various functions in different compartments and developmental stages of the cell. Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), one of the largest classes of npcRNAs, guide post-transcriptional modifications of other RNAs

A snoRNA modulates mRNA 3' end processing and regulates the expression of a subset of mRNAs. [PDF]
mRNA 3' end processing is an essential step in gene expression. It is well established that canonical eukaryotic pre-mRNA 3' processing is carried out within a macromolecular machinery consisting of dozens of trans-acting proteins. However, it is unknown

Studies on the relation between heme and nucleic acid syntheses in erythroid cell. 3. Nucleolus of erythroblast, changes in relation with cell specialization [PDF]
The disappearance of nucleolus has been traced in the rat erythroid cells in relation with the cell specialization under varying conditions, i. e. in anemia with or without treatment by bromouracil and aminopterin.

Small Nucleolar RNAs Tell a Different Tale [PDF]
Transcribing RNA Polymerase II interacts with multiple factors that orchestrate maturation and stabilisation of messenger RNA. For the majority of noncoding RNAs, the polymerase complex employs entirely different strategies, which usually direct the nascent transcript to ribonucleolytic degradation.
