In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, 59 of the 78 ribosomal proteins are encoded by duplicated genes that, in most cases, encode identical or very similar protein products. However, different sets of ribosomal protein genes have been identified in screens for various phenotypes, including life span, budding pattern, and drug sensitivities. Due to potential suppressors of growth rate defects among this ...

A temperature-sensitive mutant of Escherichia coli was isolated that had a temperature-sensitive defect in ribosomal-wash protein(s) required for translation in vitro of E. coli endogenous messenger ribonucleic acid. It was found that 30S ribosomal protein S1 rescued the defect in the ribosomal-wash protein(s) of the mutant and that the complete restoration to the wild-type level was attained w...

Using antibodies to various nucleolar and ribosomal proteins, we define, by immunolocalization in situ, the distribution of nucleolar proteins in the different morphological nucleolar subcompartments. In the present study we describe the nucleolar localization of a specific ribosomal protein (S1) by immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy using a monoclonal antibody (RS1-105). In immun...

Orthaga achatina Butler is an important pest of camphor trees in Asia. The complete mitochondrial genome O. was sequenced this study, which 15,150 bp size and comprised 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA 2 ribosomal a control region. Besides, we used phylogenomic approach to infer evolutionary relationships 23 Lepidoptera species based on conserved protein sequences the genome. Our result...

The steady state levels of mRNAs codying for the ribosomal proteins S6, S11, and S14 have been evaluated in quiescent and proliferating human fibroblasts and in resting and proliferating human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. It was found that the amounts of ribosomal protein mRNA are very similar and are not increased by serum or mitogen stimulation. The constitutive expression of these gen...

Deletion of ribosomal protein L32 genes resulted in a nonsexual flocculation of fission yeast. Nonsexual flocculation also occurred when two other ribosomal protein genes, rpl21-2 and rpl9-2, were deleted. However, deletion of two nonribosomal protein genes, mpg and fbp, did not cause flocculation. Overall transcript levels of rpl32 in rpl32-1Δ and rpl32-2Δ cells were reduced by 35.9% and 46.9%...
