A dynamic bulge in the U6 RNA internal stem–loop functions in spliceosome assembly and activationRNA - Tập 13 Số 12 - Trang 2252-2265 - 2007
C. Joel McManus, Matthew L. Schwartz, Samuel E. Butcher, David A. Brow
The highly conserved internal stem–loop (ISL) of U6 spliceosomal RNA is unwound for U4/U6 complex formation during spliceosome assembly and reformed upon U4 release during spliceosome activation. The U6 ISL is structurally similar to Domain 5 of group II self-splicing introns, and contains a dynamic bulge that coordinates a Mg++ ion essential for the first catalytic st...... hiện toàn bộ
The pseudouridine synthase RluD is required for normal ribosome assembly and function in Escherichia coliRNA - Tập 11 Số 7 - Trang 1141-1152 - 2005
N S Gutgsell, Murray P. Deutscher, James Ofengand
RluD is the pseudouridine synthase responsible for the formation of Ψ1911, Ψ1915, and Ψ1917 in Escherichia coli 23S rRNA. Previous work from our laboratory demonstrated that disruption of the rluD gene and/or loss of the pseudouridine residues for which it is responsible resulted in a severe growth phenotype. In the current work we have...... hiện toàn bộ
Exon repression by polypyrimidine tract binding proteinRNA - Tập 11 Số 5 - Trang 699-716 - 2005

Polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB) is known to silence the splicing of many alternative exons. However, exons repressed by PTB are affected by other RNA regulatory elements and proteins. This makes it difficult to dissect the structure of the pre-mRNP complexes that silence splicing, and to understand the role of PTB in this process. We determined the minimal requirements for PTB-m...... hiện toàn bộ
Human ribosomal protein L13a is dispensable for canonical ribosome function but indispensable for efficient rRNA methylationRNA - Tập 13 Số 12 - Trang 2224-2237 - 2007

Previously, we demonstrated that treatment of monocytic cells with IFN-γ causes release of ribosomal protein L13a from the 60S ribosome and subsequent translational silencing of Ceruloplasmin (Cp) mRNA. Here, evidence using cultured cells demonstrates that Cp mRNA silencing is dependent on L13a and that L13a-deficient ribosomes are competent for global translational activity. Human monocyt...... hiện toàn bộ
