Transfer RNAs with novel cloverleaf structures
We report the identification of novel tRNA species with 12-base pair amino-acid acceptor branches composed of longer acceptor stem and shorter T-stem. While canonical tRNAs have a 7/5 configuration of the branch, the novel tRNAs have either 8/4 or 9/3 structure. They were found during the search for selenocysteine tRNAs in terabytes of genome, metagenome and metatranscriptome sequences. Certain...
متن کاملBacterial transfer RNAs.
Transfer RNA is an essential adapter molecule that is found across all three domains of life. The primary role of transfer RNA resides in its critical involvement in the accurate translation of messenger RNA codons during protein synthesis and, therefore, ultimately in the determination of cellular gene expression. This review aims to bring together the results of intensive investigations into ...
متن کاملAn unusual duodenal cloverleaf
A 69-year-old female underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) due to a 6-month history of recurrent episode of vomiting. She had been suff ering from rheumatoid arthritis for 20 years, and was under intermittent treatment with non-steroid anti-infl ammatory drugs (NSAIDs). On endoscopic examination, esophagus was normal, and stomach showed mild antral hyperemia. On the anterior wall of the...
متن کاملReplication slippage may cause parallel evolution in the secondary structures of mitochondrial transfer RNAs.
Presence of the dihydrouridine (D) stem in the mitochondrial cysteine tRNA is unusually variable among lepidosaurian reptiles. Phylogenetic and comparative analyses of cysteine tRNA gene sequences identify eight parallel losses of the D-stem, resulting in D-arm replacement loops. Sampling within the monophyletic Acrodonta provides no evidence for reversal. Slipped-strand mispairing of noncontig...
متن کاملClustering of RNA secondary structures with application to messenger RNAs.
There is growing evidence of translational gene regulation at the mRNA level, and of the important roles of RNA secondary structure in these regulatory processes. Because mRNAs likely exist in a population of structures, the popular free energy minimization approach may not be well suited to prediction of mRNA structures in studies of post-transcriptional regulation. Here, we describe an altern...
