Disease relevance of LOC493779

The 18S ribosomal RNA gene sequence of the isolate examined was identical with that of C. andersoni reported previously, and the isolate was successfully transmitted to severe combined immunodeficiency mice [1].

High impact information on LOC493779

The ratio of CYP17 messenger RNA (mRNA) to 18S ribosomal RNA was also significantly higher in fetal adrenals ofthe N-POMC-(1-77)-infused group (49.1+/-4.7) compared with that in either the N-POMC-(1-49)-infused (20.4+/-6.4) or saline-infused (15.2+/-4.4) group [2].
There was no difference, however, in the ratios of adrenal CYP11A1 mRNA/3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/delta5,delta4-isomerase mRNA and CYP21A1 mRNA/18S ribosomal RNA among the N-POMC-(1-77)-, N-POMC-(1-49)-, and saline-infused groups [2].
Sequence comparison search revealed similarity of some isolated fragments to 18s ribosomal RNA, bovine apolipoprotein A-I, bovine mitochondrion DNA, human CGI-79 mRNA, human Ab1-interactor protein, and bovine satellite DNA [3].
The 5' noncoding region does not contain an AUG before the initiator codon and contains two potential regions that could base-pair with sequences near the 3' terminus of 18S ribosomal RNA [4].
Molecular and phylogenetic analyses at the 18S ribosomal RNA, heat shock protein 70, and actin gene loci demonstrate C. suis to be genetically distinct from all known species and genotypes of Cryptosporidium, and thus is named as Cryptosporidium suis [5].

Biological context of LOC493779

The 18S ribosomal RNA and merozoite-piroplasm surface protein-encoding genes display a wider genetic variation within the T. buffeli group than between well defined species like T. annulata and T. parva [6].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of LOC493779

The complete 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA) gene was amplified from specimens of their whole blood by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) [7].
