Methylation of Nucleolar Rna during Development of the Amphibian Ooecyte.

چکیده
TRANSMETHYLATION is known to occur from methionine to ribonucleic acid (RNA) derivatives (Fleissner & Borek, 1962). Most of these methylated derivatives are typical of transfer RNA (Dunn, 1959). In dipteran salivary cells it was possible to distinguish with autoradiography between the transmethylation to RNA and the incorporation of methionine into protein (Sirlin, Jacob & Tandler, 1963). The same approach was used in the present experiments to trace the formation of transfer RNA in amphibian oocytes.

In the December 5th issue of Molecular Cell, Preuss et al. (2008) demonstrated a link between small interfering RNA (siRNA)-directed de novo DNA methylation and rDNA silencing in nucleolar dominance.

Nucleolar dominance is an epigenetic phenomenon that describes nucleolus formation around rRNA genes inherited from only one progenitor of an interspecific hybrid or allopolyploid. The phenomenon is widespread, occurring in plants, insects, amphibians, and mammals, yet its molecular basis remains unclear. We have demonstrated nucleolar dominance in three allotetraploids of the plant genus Brass...

Background Genomic imprinting is a heritable and developmentally essential phenomenon by which gene expression occurs in an allele-specific manner1. While the imprinted alleles are primarily silenced by DNA methylation, it remains largely unknown how methylation is targeted to imprinting control region (ICR), also called differentially methylated region (DMR), and maintained. Here we show that ...

The nucleolus has long been known as a functionally highly specialized subnuclear compartment where synthesis, posttranscriptional modification, and processing of cytoplasmic rRNAs take place. In this study, we demonstrate that the nucleolus contains all the trans-acting factors that are responsible for the accurate and efficient synthesis of the eight 2'-O-methylated nucleotides and three pseu...
