C-terminal short arginine/serine repeat sequence-dependent regulation of Y14 (RBM8A) localization [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
AbstractY14 (RBM8A) is an RNA recognition motif-containing protein that forms heterodimers with MAGOH and serves as a core factor of the RNA surveillance machinery for the exon junction complex (EJC). The role of the Y14 C-terminal serine/arginine (RS) repeat-containing region, which has been reported to undergo modifications such as phosphorylation ...

Suppression of Xo1-mediated disease resistance in rice by a truncated, non-DNA-binding TAL effector of Xanthomonas oryzae

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Delivered into plant cells by type III secretion from pathogenic Xanthomonas species, TAL (transcription activator-like) effectors are nuclear-localized, DNA-binding proteins that directly activate specific host genes. Targets include genes important for

Bovine leukemia virus long terminal repeat variability: identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms in regulatory sequences

Virology Journal, 2018
Background Limited data are available on the incidence of variations in nucleotide sequences of long terminal repeat (LTR) regions of Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV). Consequently, the possible impact of SNPs on BLV LTR function are poorly elucidated.

Functional and defective components of avian endogenous virus long terminal repeat enhancer sequences [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1993
Oncogenic avian retroviruses, such as Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and the avian leukosis viruses, contain a strong enhancer in the U3 portion of the proviral long terminal repeat (LTR). The LTRs of a second class of avian retroviruses, the endogenous viruses (ev) lack detectable enhancer activity. By creating ev-RSV hybrid LTRs, we previously demonstrated

De novo emergence, existence, and demise of a protein-coding gene in murids

BMC Biology, 2022
Background Genes, principal units of genetic information, vary in complexity and evolutionary history. Less-complex genes (e.g., long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expressing genes) readily emerge de novo from non-genic sequences and have high evolutionary ...

The de novo cytosine methyltransferase DRM2 requires intact UBA domains and a catalytically mutated paralog DRM3 during RNA-directed DNA methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2010
Eukaryotic DNA cytosine methylation can be used to transcriptionally silence repetitive sequences, including transposons and retroviruses. This silencing is stable between cell generations as cytosine methylation is maintained epigenetically through DNA ...

Tandem Repeated Sequences within the Terminal Region of the Fowlpox Virus Genome

Journal of General Virology, 1989
A 6.2 kb BamHI terminal fragment from fowlpox virus has been cloned and the nucleotide sequence was determined. The fragment was cloned by S1 digestion of viral DNA and therefore does not contain the covalently closed terminal loop. The cloned sequences comprise a short (230 bp) unique region at the terminal end, which is adjacent to a 3.87 bp long, AT-

Sequence and symmetry requirements within the internal palindromic sequences of the adeno-associated virus terminal repeat

Virology, 1988
The defective parvovirus, adeno-associated virus (AAV), contains a single-stranded DNA genome of 4681 bases with inverted terminal repeats of 145 bases. The distal 125 bases of the repeat are palindromic allowing a hairpin to form for initiation of DNA synthesis.

Phylogenetic and transcriptomic characterization of insulin and growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases in crustaceans

Frontiers in Endocrinology
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) mediate the actions of growth factors in metazoans. In decapod crustaceans, RTKs are implicated in various physiological processes, such molting and growth, limb regeneration, reproduction and sexual differentiation, and ...

Genetic polymorphism and natural selection of circumsporozoite surface protein in Plasmodium falciparum field isolates from Myanmar

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein (PfCSP) is one of the most extensively studied malaria vaccine candidates, but the genetic polymorphism of PfCSP within and among the global P.
