In Escherichia coli the glmS gene encoding glucosamine 6-phosphate (GlcN-6-P) synthase GlmS is feedback regulated by GlcN-6-P in a pathway that involves small RNA GlmZ. Expression of activated unprocessed form GlmZ, which accumulates when intracellular concentration decreases. GlmZ stabilizes transcript derives from processing. Overexpression second sRNA, GlmY, also activates expression an unknown way. Furthermore, mutations two genes, yhbJ and pcnB, cause accumulation full-length thereby...

Organelles are intracellular compartments which themselves compartmentalized. Biogenic and metabolic processes localized to specialized domains or microcompartments enhance their efficiency suppress deleterious side reactions. An example of intra-organellar compartmentalization is the pyrenoid in chloroplasts algae hornworts. This microcompartment enhances photosynthetic CO2-fixing activity Calvin-Benson cycle enzyme Rubisco, suppresses an energetically wasteful oxygenase mitigates limiting...

Summary The opportunistic pathogen P seudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 has a remarkable capacity to adapt various environments and survive with limited nutrients. Here, we report the discovery characterization of novel small non‐coding RNA : NrsZ (nitrogen‐regulated sRNA ). We show that under nitrogen limitation, is induced by NtrB / C two‐component system, an important regulator assimilation . aeruginosa's swarming motility, in concert alternative sigma factor RpoN Furthermore, demonstrate...

In the absence of telomerase, telomere shortening triggers DNA damage checkpoint and replicative senescence, a potent tumor suppressor mechanism. Paradoxically, this same process is also associated with oncogenic genomic instability. Yet, precise mechanism that connects these seemingly opposing forces remains poorly understood. To directly study complex interplay between dynamics instability, we developed system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to generate track telomeres length telomerase. Using...

The ribosome-associated endoribonuclease Rae1 cleaves the Bacillus subtilis yrzI operon mRNA in a translation-dependent manner. This encodes up to four small peptides, S1027, YrzI, S1025, and S1024, whose functions are unknown. Here, we identified function of YrzI S1025 deciphered degradation pathways polycistronic mRNA. We show that is toxic at high concentrations, but co-expression with abolishes its toxicity, that, absence Rae1, major antidote YzI toxin. highly stable species containing...

Multicellular organisms implement a set of reactions involving signaling and cooperation between different types cells. Unicellular organisms, on the other hand, activate defense systems that involve collective behaviors individual organisms. In unicellular model alga Chlamydomonas (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii), existence function mechanisms in response to stress remain mostly at level formation small structures called palmelloids. Here, we report characterization mechanism abiotic can trigger...

Proteomic and transcriptomic technologies resulted in massive biological datasets, their interpretation requiring sophisticated computational strategies. Efficient intuitive real-time analysis remains challenging. We use proteomic data on 1417 proteins of the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to investigate physicochemical parameters governing selectivity three cysteine-based redox post translational modifications (PTM): glutathionylation (SSG), nitrosylation (SNO) disulphide bonds...

Polyadenylation is thought to be involved in the degradation and quality control of bacterial RNAs but relatively few examples have been investigated. We used a combination 5΄-tagRACE RNA-seq analyze total RNA content from wild-type strain poly(A)polymerase deleted mutant. A 178 transcripts were either up- or down-regulated mutant when compared strain. Poly(A)polymerase up-regulates expression all genes related FliA regulon several previously unknown transcripts, including numerous...

Polyadenylation is a universal post-transcriptional modification involved in degradation and quality control of bacterial RNAs. In Escherichia coli, it admitted that any accessible RNA 3' end can be tagged by poly(A) tail for decay. However, we do not have yet an overall view the population polyadenylated molecules. The sampling RNAs presented here demonstrates rRNA fragments tRNA precursors originating from internal spacer regions rrn operons, particular, rrnB are abundant polymerase...

Clopidogrel is one of the most prescribed antiplatelet drugs for cardiovascular diseases prevention. a prodrug metabolised by CYP2C19 in active metabolites with anti-aggregant effect. Pharmacogenetic variants such as CYP2C19*2 variant can alter effect clopidogrel leading to higher risk disease relapse. The aim this study was evaluate prescription characteristics pharmacogenetics patients on treatment, based specific query clinical data warehouse. We evaluated demographics patients,...

Abstract DNA data storage is an emerging technology that has the potential to replace bulky, fragile and energy-intensive current digital media. Here, we report a strategy called Drive, organizes on long double stranded replicative molecules. The Drive unlimited capacity, its encoding scheme ensures biosafety of process by limiting sequence code for mRNA proteins.
