Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998 Introns interrupt the continuity of many eukaryal genes, and therefore their removal by splicing is a crucial step in gene expression. Interestingly, even within Eukarya there are at least four splicing mechanisms. mRNA splicing in the nucleus takes place in two phosphotransfer reactions on a complex and dynamic machine, the spliceosome.

Methylated nucleosides in tRNA and tRNA methyltransferases [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2014 To date, more than 90 modified nucleosides have been found in tRNA and the biosynthetic pathways of the majority of tRNA modifications include a methylation step(s).

Disrupted tRNA Genes and tRNA Fragments: A Perspective on tRNA Gene Evolution [PDF]
Life, 2015 Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs with lengths of approximately 70–100 nt. They are directly involved in protein synthesis by carrying amino acids to the ribosome.

Electron microscopic visualization of tRNA genes with ferritin-avidin: biotin labels [PDF]
, 1978 A method is described for indirect electron microscopic visualization and mapping of tRNA and other short transcripts hybridized to DNA. This method depends upon the attachment of the electron-dense protein ferritin to the RNA, the binding being mediated

Extracellular tRNAs and tRNA-derived fragments [PDF]
RNA Biology, 2020 Fragmentation of tRNAs generates a family of small RNAs collectively known as tRNA-derived fragments. These fragments vary in sequence and size but have been shown to regulate many processes involved in cell homoeostasis and adaptations to stress. Additionally, the field of extracellular RNAs (exRNAs) is rapidly growing because exRNAs are a promising ...

Novel layers of RNA polymerase III control affecting tRNA gene transcription in eukaryotes [PDF]
Open Biology, 2017 RNA polymerase III (Pol III) transcribes a limited set of short genes in eukaryotes producing abundant small RNAs, mostly tRNA. The originally defined yeast Pol III transcriptome appears to be expanding owing to the application of new methods.

The dysregulation of tRNAs and tRNA derivatives in cancer [PDF]
Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2018 Transfer RNAs (tRNAs), traditionally considered to participate in protein translation, were interspersed in the entire genome. Recent studies suggested that dysregulation was observed in not only tRNAs, but also tRNA derivatives generated by the specific cleavage of pre- and mature tRNAs in the progression of cancer.

Mechanisms of ribosome recycling in bacteria and mitochondria: a structural perspective
RNA Biology, 2022 In all living cells, the ribosome translates the genetic information carried by messenger RNAs (mRNAs) into proteins. The process of ribosome recycling, a key step during protein synthesis that ensures ribosomal subunits remain available for new rounds ...
