TERRA biogenesis, turnover and implications for function.
Telomeres are heterochromatic structures at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. As other heterochromatin regions, telomeres are transcribed, from the subtelomeric region towards chromosome ends into the long non-coding RNA TERRA. Telomere transcription is a widespread phenomenon as it has been observed in species belonging to several kingdoms of the eukaryotic domain. TERRA is part of telomeric...
متن کاملImplications for the biogenesis of lipid droplets
*Correspondence to: Roger Schneiter; Email: [email protected] Eukaryotes store metabolic energy in form of neutral lipids, which are deposited within a dedicated organelle, termed lipid droplet (LD). While neutral lipids are synthesized by ER localized integral membrane proteins, the fate of these lipids after their synthesis and the mechanism resulting in their accumulation in LDs are n...
متن کاملAn Engineered Rare Codon Device for Optimization of Metabolic Pathways
Rare codons generally arrest translation due to rarity of their cognate tRNAs. This property of rare codons can be utilized to regulate protein expression. In this study, a linear relationship was found between expression levels of genes and copy numbers of rare codons inserted within them. Based on this discovery, we constructed a molecular device in Escherichia coli using the rare codon AGG, ...
متن کاملMitochondrial Cardiolipin Involved in Outer-Membrane Protein Biogenesis: Implications for Barth Syndrome
The biogenesis of mitochondria requires the import of a large number of proteins from the cytosol [1, 2]. Although numerous studies have defined the proteinaceous machineries that mediate mitochondrial protein sorting, little is known about the role of lipids in mitochondrial protein import. Cardiolipin, the signature phospholipid of the mitochondrial inner membrane [3-5], affects the stability...
متن کاملGeneric Algorithm to Predict the Speed of Translational Elongation: Implications for Protein Biogenesis
Synonymous codon usage and variations in the level of isoaccepting tRNAs exert a powerful selective force on translation fidelity. We have developed an algorithm to evaluate the relative rate of translation which allows large-scale comparisons of the non-uniform translation rate on the protein biogenesis. Using the complete genomes of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis we show that stretche...
