High Guanine and Cytosine Content Increases mRNA Levels in Mammalian Cells
Mammalian genes are highly heterogeneous with respect to their nucleotide composition, but the functional consequences of this heterogeneity are not clear. In the previous studies, weak positive or negative correlations have been found between the silent-site guanine and cytosine (GC) content and expression of mammalian genes. However, previous studies disregarded differences in the genomic con...
متن کاملPhylogenetic and Guanine-Cytosine Content Analysis of Symbiobacterium thermophilum Genes
Although the bacterium Symbiobacterium thermophilum has a genome with a high guanine-cytosine (GC) content (69%), it belongs to a low GC content bacterial group. We detected only 18 low GC content regions with 5 or more consecutive genes whose GC contents were below 65% in the genome of this organism. S. thermophilum has 66 transposase genes, which are markers of transposable genetic elements, ...
متن کاملProposed subgroups of spiroplasmas of high guanine plus cytosine content, group IV.
The plant surface and insect-inhabiting spiroplasmas of group IV, unlike other spiroplasmas, have not been demonstrated to utilize arginine. They require cholesterol for growth, produce spots and films on some media, and do not hydrolize arbutin. Electrophoretic and serological comparisons of strains from North America and Europe indicate the existence of strain differences within group IV. Thi...
متن کاملAn unusual 500, 000 bases long oscillation of guanine and cytosine content in human chromosome 21
An oscillation with a period of around 500 kb in guanine and cytosine content (GC%) is observed in the DNA sequence of human chromosome 21. This oscillation is localized in the rightmost one-eighth region of the chromosome, from 43.5 Mb to 46.5 Mb. Five cycles of oscillation are observed in this region with six GC-rich peaks and five GC-poor valleys. The GC-poor valleys comprise regions with lo...
متن کاملDependence on temperature and guanine-cytosine content of bubble length distributions in DNA.
We present numerical results on the temperature dependence of the distribution of bubble lengths in DNA segments of various guanine-cytosine (GC) concentrations. Base-pair openings are described by the Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois model and the corresponding thermal equilibrium distributions of bubbles are obtained through Monte Carlo calculations for bubble sizes up to the order of a hundred base pa...
