Disease relevance of Genes, rRNA

 

High impact information on Genes, rRNA

  • SIR2 regulates recombination between different rDNA repeats, but not recombination within individual rRNA genes in yeast [6].
  • In exploring the mechanism by which the active or silent state of rRNA genes is inherited, we found that NoRC, a nucleolar remodeling complex containing Snf2h (also called Smarca5, SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a, member 5), represses rDNA transcription [7].
  • The results provide a molecular link between RNA polymerase I transcription and transcription-coupled repair of active ribosomal RNA genes [8].
  • Here we report that in cells lacking Suv3p, there is an approximately 50-fold increase in the excised form of the group I intron omega of the mitochondrial 31S rRNA gene [9].
  • The TFIIIB-dependent binding of pol III to the SUP4 tRNA and 5S rRNA genes has been analyzed in binary (protein and DNA only) and precisely arrested ternary (protein, DNA, and RNA) transcription complexes [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Genes, rRNA

  • The effects of extra, plasmid-borne rRNA genes on the synthesis rate of rRNA in Escherichia coli were examined by measuring the fraction of total RNA synthesis that is rRNA and tRNA (rs/rt), the cytoplasmic concentration of guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp), and the absolute rates of RNA and protein synthesis [11].
  • We have identified the nucleotide at which transcription initiates on the yeast mitochondrial small (14 S) rRNA gene by sequencing of RNA labeled at the 5' initiating triphosphate with vaccinia virus guanylyltransferase [alpha-32P]GTP (in vitro capping reaction) [12].
  • Simultaneous colonisation of Helicobacter pylori with and without mutations in the 23S rRNA gene in patients with no history of clarithromycin exposure [13].
  • The stringent response was elicited in the antibiotic producer Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) either by amino acid depletion (nutritional shiftdown) or by the addition of serine hydroxamate; both led to increased levels of ppGpp and to a reduction in transcription from the four promoters of the rrnD rRNA gene set [14].
  • Regulation of ribosomal RNA gene transcription during retinoic acid-induced differentiation of mouse teratocarcinoma cells [15].
 

Biological context of Genes, rRNA

  • In both rat and human chromosomes, regions containing amplified ribosomal RNA genes were specifically removed by the restriction endonuclease Msp I [16].
  • An in vitro processing system of mouse rRNA was achieved using an RNA polymerase I-specific transcription system, (S100) and recombinant plasmids consisting of mouse rRNA gene (rDNA) segments containing the transcription initiation and 5'-terminal region of 18S (or 41S) rRNA [17].
  • UBF is a DNA binding protein which interacts with both the promoter and the enhancer of various vertebrate ribosomal RNA genes and functions as a transcription initiation factor for RNA polymerase I (pol I) [18].
  • We propose that expression of the rRNA genes is regulated during mitosis at the level of transcription elongation, similarly to what is known for a number of genes transcribed by pol II [19].
  • These data identify a novel target for ERK, and suggest that its ability to stimulate biosynthetic capacity and growth involves direct transcriptional activation of tRNA and 5S rRNA genes [20].
