The Hippo pathway was initially discovered in Drosophila melanogaster as a key regulator of tissue growth. It is an evolutionarily conserved signaling cascade regulating numerous biological processes, including cell growth and fate decision, organ size ...Read More
Mutant Syrian hamster cells resistant to N-(phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartate (PALA), a transition state analog inhibitor of aspartate transcarbamylase, overproduce CAD, multifunctional protein which catalyzes the first three reactions de novo UMP biosynthesis. Increased levels single mRNA cause overproduction CAD in all PALA-resistant mutants examined thus far. A recombinant plasmid containing 2,3-kilobase insert complementary 3'-proximal region this 7.9-kilobase has been prepared and used show...
The splicing of messenger RNA precursors in vitro proceeds through an intermediate that has the 5′ end intervening sequence joined to a site near 3′ splice site. This lariat structure, which been characterized for adenovirus 2 major late transcript, branch point, with 2′-5′ and 3′-5′ phosphodiester bonds emanating from single adenosine residue. excised retains terminates guanosine residue hydroxyl group. phosphate group at junction between two exons originates precursor.
Minor RNA splicing defects can cause a major human developmental disorder.
A conserved sequence element in a minor class of eukaryotic pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) introns was previously proposed to base pair with complementary the U12 small nuclear (snRNA) manner analogous pairing U2 snRNA branch site major introns. Here, mutations generated this block splicing member intron vivo. This relieved by coexpression containing compensatory that restore interaction. These results show pre-mRNA is distinct existing alongside animal genomes, and these also establish an...
A soluble whole-cell extract prepared accurately from HeLa cells splices 2-3% of the RNA transcribed a DNA template containing first and second leader exons late adenovirus RNA. The spliced was detected by sensitive technique using hybridization to single-stranded phage M13 cDNA clone, followed binding nitrocellulose filters. identity established RNase T1 pancreatic two-dimensional peptide mapping. bond formed during in vitro splicing reaction appears be typical 3',5'-phosphodiester as...
