Lightning strikes twice: intron-intein coincidence.
‘‘Multiple introns, and the prospect that these occur within several genes in the same metabolic pathway, suggest a regulatory role for splicing . . . ’’ (1). That statement was made more than a decade ago by our colleagues and ourselves in reference to the phage T4 group I introns, all three of which reside in genes involved in nucleotide metabolism. The intervening years were distinguished by...
متن کاملWhen lightning strikes twice.
The educational, occupational, and creative accomplishments of the profoundly gifted participants (IQs > 160) in the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth (SMPY) are astounding, but are they representative of equally able 12-year-olds? Duke University’s Talent Identification Program (TIP) identified 259 young adolescents who were equally gifted. By age 40, their life accomplishments also wer...
متن کاملTubule and cyst formation: lightning strikes twice.
CYST AND TUBULE FORMATION are the basic building blocks of organogenesis for many branched organs, including the kidney. Due to the complexity of metanephrogenesis (the human kidney is composed of more than 20 cell types and 1 million nephrons) (6, 8) and the transitory nature of cyst and tubule formation, relatively little had been known about cyst and tubule formation before the development o...
متن کاملNon-coding RNAs: Lightning strikes twice
A second case has been found of a nematode gene involved in developmental timing that encodes a short, non-coding RNA. Both RNAs are expressed at specific times and appear to repress target genes by interacting with their 3' untranslated regions. A coincidence? Or does this pathway attract small RNA regulators?
متن کاملConvergent Evolution: Regulatory Lightning Strikes Twice
Nematodes of the genus Caenorhabditis have evolved self-fertile hermaphrodites several times. Like Caenorhabditis elegans, C. briggsae has also recruited an F-box protein to regulate the sex determination gene tra-2 during the evolution of self-fertilization. Evolutionary biologists suffer from the lack of time machines. Until we get one, the details of how many adaptations evolved remain elusi...
