Nucleotide sequence of the satellite of peanut stunt virus reveals structural homologies with viroids and certain nuclear and mitochondrial introns.
Peanut stunt virus-associated RNA 5 (PARNA 5), the satellite of a plant cucumovirus, is a linear RNA of 393 nucleotides with a 5' cap and a 3' hydroxyl group. Determination of its nucleotide sequence has revealed two consecutive open reading frames that together extend most of its length. Sequences at the 5' and 3' ends are homologous with those of the satellite of the related cucumber mosaic v...
متن کاملDetained introns are a novel, widespread class of post-transcriptionally spliced introns.
Deep sequencing of embryonic stem cell RNA revealed many specific internal introns that are significantly more abundant than the other introns within polyadenylated transcripts; we classified these as "detained" introns (DIs). We identified thousands of DIs, many of which are evolutionarily conserved, in human and mouse cell lines as well as the adult mouse liver. DIs can have half-lives of ove...
متن کاملConformaticm of viroids
Viroids are uncoated infectious RNA molecules (MW 107 OOO127 000) known as pathogens of certain higher plants. Thermodynamic and kinetic studies were carried out on highly purified viroid preparations by applying UV-absorption melting analysis and temperature jump methods. The thermal denaturation of viroids is characterized by high thermal stability, high cooperativlty and a high degree of bas...
متن کاملViruses, viroids and vectors
On San Miguel, one of the smallest of the 7 000 islands of the Philippines, a few coconut palms were slowly dying in 1928. Ten years later, 50 000 palms on this island were dead or dying. The disease seemed to be limited to a certain area and affected only coconut palms. No bacteria or fungi were found to be associated with the dying palms. The disease, believed to be caused by a virus, began t...

type description (DTD). The DTD is the classification system that defines the different types of information pieces in any document. In each DTD the key XML 'tags', or descriptors, are described. Any one DTD can be used as the rule-set for any number of XML documents. This is the aspect of XML that is of most importance to scientists, because of its potential to improve dramatically the ability...
