Identification and characterization of two novel box HACA snoRNAs from Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Through constructing a specialized cDNA library based on small RNAs isolated from partial purified nuclei of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, two novel noncoding RNAs, termed Sp15-70 and Sp18-61, have been identified. Bioinformatics analysis reveals that both the novel RNAs possess a typical secondary structure of box HACA snoRNA and antisense elements to rRNAs. According to the relationship between the structure and function of box HACA snoRNA, Sp15-70 was predicted to direct pseudouridylation in 25S rRNA at U2401 and U2298; Sp18-61 was predicted to direct pseudouridylation in 18S rRNA at U208 and 25S rRNA at U2341. The four predicted pseudouridylation sites were all verified experimentally by the CMC-primer extension analysis. Both Sp15-70 and Sp18-61 were encoded by single copies which were located in the intergenic regions between the CDS of two protein-coding genes on chromosome Ⅰ and Ⅲ of S. pombe, respectively. Putative TATA-like elements can be found upstream from the 5′ end of these snoRNA genes, suggesting that they could be transcribed from their own promoters. Comparison of the two snoRNAs and their functional homologues in diverse organisms reveals that extensive recombinations among different snoRNAs have occurred during the evolution from their primitive progenitors.     

不同介质中分化逆转对细胞粘菌mRNA稳定性影响

细胞粘菌(Dictyostelium discoideum)发育后期细胞被重新分散于营养培养基或缓冲液后,mRNAs稳定性在这二种介质中的变化相似。一些mRNAs稳定性下降,快速降解,另一些mRNAs不受影响。环状AMP选择性地保护其中一些受快速降解的mRNAs。放线菌酮有稳定mRNA作用。受检mRNAs在不同分化逆转介质中的相同效应表明,营养条件不是引起分化逆转细胞mRNA稳定性变化的因素。

分子剪刀：RNA酶日趋商业化

一个赢得诺贝尔奖且能引起基因工程革命的发现获得专利——但并非每个人都为之高兴。当科罗拉多大学的托马斯·塞奇在1982年发现RNA(核糖核酸)可以作为一种酶催化特定的生物反应,这个结果令分子生物学家们吃惊。在他们看来,只有蛋白质能作为酶起作用。所以这个发现不仅使塞奇
