Antisense Translates into Sense
T he paradigm that DNA is the central bank of genetic information within the cell, and that portions of the DNA are copied via transcription to RNA, which is subsequently decoded to synthesize protein in a cell, is basically true throughout cellular evolution. However, it is also true that although this is a general blueprint for regulating how genes are expressed, evolution, with its varied se...
متن کاملSmoothened translates Hedgehog levels into distinct responses.
In the Drosophila wing, Hedgehog is made by cells of the posterior compartment and acts as a morphogen to pattern cells of the anterior compartment. High Hedgehog levels instruct L3/4 intervein fate, whereas lower levels instruct L3 vein fate. Transcriptional responses to Hedgehog are mediated by the balance between repressor and activator forms of Cubitus interruptus, CiR and CiA. Hedgehog reg...
متن کاملMicro-editing mistake translates into a devastating brain tumor.
RNA modifications are increasingly being recognized as critical players in cancer. While adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing is consistently deregulated in cancer, we are still unable to draw a straight line connecting transcript-specific editing and carcinogenesis. The findings by Choudhury et al. in this issue of the JCI bridge this gap by mechanistically implicating underediting of miR-376a* in...
متن کاملNeuronal Adaptation Translates Stimulus Gaps into a Population Code
Neurons in sensory pathways exhibit a vast multitude of adaptation behaviors, which are assumed to aid the encoding of temporal stimulus features and provide the basis for a population code in higher brain areas. Here we study the transition to a population code for auditory gap stimuli both in neurophysiological recordings and in a computational network model. Independent component analysis (I...
متن کاملTransplantation of a tyrosine editing domain into a tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase variant enhances its specificity for a tyrosine analog.
To guarantee specific tRNA and amino acid pairing, several aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases correct aminoacylation errors by deacylating or "editing" misaminoacylated tRNA. A previously developed variant of Escherichia coli tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (iodoTyrRS) esterifies or "charges" tRNA(Tyr) with a nonnatural amino acid, 3-iodo-l-tyrosine, and with l-tyrosine less efficiently. In the present study, ...
