RNA editing and the mitochondrial cryptogenes of kinetoplastid protozoa.
The term “RNA editing” was initially introduced to describe a process resulting in the addition of nongenomitally encoded uridine residues (U’s) to mitochondrial mRNAs in the kinetoplastid protozoa (Benne et al., 1986), but has recently been used to describe other processes involving modification of RNA in other organisms (Powell et al., 1987; Chen et al., 1987; Thomas et al., 1988). We would l...
متن کاملRNA editing and mitochondrial genomic organization in the cryptobiid kinetoplastid protozoan Trypanoplasma borreli.
The bodonids and cryptobiids represent an early diverged sister group to the trypanosomatids among the kinetoplastid protozoa. The trypanosome type of uridine insertion-deletion RNA editing was found to occur in the cryptobiid fish parasite Trypanoplasma borreli. A pan-edited ribosomal protein, S12, and a novel 3'- and 5'-edited cytochrome b, in addition to an unedited cytochrome oxidase III ge...
متن کاملNew Anti-Influenza Agents: Targeting the Virus Entry and Genome Transcription
Introduction: The emergence and spread of the pandemic H1N1 influenza virus in 2009 indicates a limitation in the strategy to control the infection, despite a long-established vaccination programme and approved antivirals. Production the proper vaccine against influenza is difficult due to the genetic recombination of virus in the event of pandemic and co-circulation of drug-resistance variants...
متن کاملGene Family: Structure, Organization and Evolution
Gene families are considered as groups of homologous genes which they share very similar sequences and they may have identical functions. Members of gene families may be found in tandem repeats or interspersed through the genome. These sequences are copies of the ancestral genes which have underwent changes. The multiple copies of each gene in a family were constructed based on gene duplicati...
متن کاملU-insertion/deletion Edited Sequence Database
Uridine insertion/deletion RNA editing is a post-transcriptional RNA modification occurring in the mitochondria of kinetoplastid protozoa. The U-insertion/deletion Edited Sequence Database is a compilation of mitochondrial genes and edited mRNAs from five kinetoplastid species. It contains separate files with the DNA, mRNA (both unedited and edited) and predicted protein sequences, as well as a...
