Importance of introns for expression of mouse ribosomal protein gene rpL32.
The importance of intronic sequences for expression of the mouse ribosomal protein gene rpL32 was evaluated by transfection experiments with a series of mutant constructs in which one or more of the three rpL32 introns was totally or partially deleted. When transiently transfected into monkey kidney (COS) cells or stably transfected into mouse L cells, a mutant that lacked all three introns was...
متن کاملStructural and Functional Characterization of Ribosomal Protein Gene Introns in Sponges
Ribosomal protein genes (RPGs) are a powerful tool for studying intron evolution. They exist in all three domains of life and are much conserved. Accumulating genomic data suggest that RPG introns in many organisms abound with non-protein-coding-RNAs (ncRNAs). These ancient ncRNAs are small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) essential for ribosome assembly. They are also mobile genetic elements and there...
متن کاملIntrons regulate the production of ribosomal proteins by modulating splicing of duplicated ribosomal protein genes
Most budding yeast introns exist in the many duplicated ribosomal protein genes (RPGs) and it has been posited that they remain there to modulate the expression of RPGs and cell growth in response to stress. However, the mechanism by which introns regulate the expression of RPGs and their impact on the synthesis of ribosomal proteins remain unclear. In this study, we show that introns determine...
متن کاملFeedback regulation of ribosomal protein gene expression in Escherichia coli: structural homology of ribosomal RNA and ribosomal protein MRNA.
Certain ribosomal proteins (r proteins) in Escherichia coli, such as S4 and S7, function as feedback repressors in the regulation of r-protein synthesis. These proteins inhibit the translation of their own mRNA. The repressor r proteins so far identified are also known to bind specifically to rRNA at an initial stage in ribosome assembly. We have found structural homology between the S7 binding...
متن کاملFeedback regulation of ribosomal protein gene expression in Escherichia coli.
The structural genes for Escherichia coli ribosomal protein (r-protein) genes L1, S4, and S11 were inserted into a plasmid vector containing the lac operator and promoter such that the synthesis of L1, S4, and S11 was controlled by lac regulatory elements. Synthesis of L1, S4, and S11 was stimulated by addition of an inducer of the lac operon (isopropyl thiogalactoside) to exponentially growing...
