Localization of a Bacterial Group II Intron-Encoded Protein in Eukaryotic Nuclear Splicing-Related Cell Compartments
Some bacterial group II introns are widely used for genetic engineering in bacteria, because they can be reprogrammed to insert into the desired DNA target sites. There is considerable interest in developing this group II intron gene targeting technology for use in eukaryotes, but nuclear genomes present several obstacles to the use of this approach. The nuclear genomes of eukaryotes do not con...
متن کاملEukaryotic origins: How and when was the mitochondrion acquired?
Comparative genomics has revealed that the last eukaryotic common ancestor possessed the hallmark cellular architecture of modern eukaryotes. However, the remarkable success of such analyses has created a dilemma. If key eukaryotic features are ancestral to this group, then establishing the relative timing of their origins becomes difficult. In discussions of eukaryote origins, special signific...
متن کاملA third lineage with two-piece tmRNA.
tmRNA combines tRNA and mRNA properties and helps bacteria to cope with stalled ribosomes. Its termini normally pair in the tRNA domain, closing the mRNA portion into a looping domain. A striking variation is a two-piece form that effectively breaks open the mRNA domain loop, resulting from independent gene permutation events in alphaproteobacteria and cyanobacteria. Convergent evolution to a s...
متن کاملIn vitro import of a nuclearly encoded tRNA into the mitochondrion of Trypanosoma brucei.
All of the mitochondrial tRNAs of Trypanosoma brucei have been shown to be encoded in the nucleus and must be imported into the mitochondrion. The import of nuclearly encoded tRNAs into the mitochondrion has been demonstrated in a variety of organisms and is essential for proper function in the mitochondrion. An in vitro import assay has been developed to study the pathway of tRNA import in T. ...
متن کاملIs myelin a mitochondrion?
It has been hypothesized that myelin acts like a mitochondrion, generating ATP across the membranes of its sheath. By calculating the proton motive force across the myelin membrane based on known values for the pH and membrane potential of the oligodendrocyte, we find that insufficient energy could be harvested from proton flow across the myelin membrane to synthesize ATP. In fact, if the respi...
