A group I intron riboswitch.
نویسنده
چکیده
Riboswitches are mRNA-based elements that regulate gene expression via binding of a specific ligand. Breaker and coworkers have now discovered a novel type of regulatory RNA motif that acts by c-di-GMP-dependent control of a self-splicing group I intron ribozyme (Lee et al., 2010).

Eukaryotic TPP riboswitch regulation of alternative splicing involving long-distance base pairing
Thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP) riboswitches are found in organisms from all three domains of life. Examples in bacteria commonly repress gene expression by terminating transcription or by blocking ribosome binding, whereas most eukaryotic TPP riboswitches are predicted to regulate gene expression by modulating RNA splicing. Given the widespread distribution of eukaryotic TPP riboswitches and the d...
متن کاملLoss of Chloroplast trnLUAA Intron in Two Species of Hedysarum (Fabaceae): Evolutionary Implications
Previous studies have indicated that in all land plants examined to date, the chloroplast gene trnLUAA isinterrupted by a single group I intron ranging from 250 to over 1400 bp. The parasitic Epifagus virginiana haslost, however, the entire gene. We report that the intron is missing from the chloroplast genome of twoarctic species of the legume genus Hedysarum (H. alpinum, H. ...

Background & aims: Hemophilia B is caused by either functional deficiency or lack of the human coagulation factor IX (hFIX). The current protein-based therapy with plasma-derived proteins increases, the risk of blood-borne pathogens transmission. Therefore, replacement therapy with recombinant hFIX (rhFIX) is an attractive alternative to plasma derived hFIX concentrates. In order to express and...

Background: Human FIX (hFIX) gene transfer into hepatocytes has provided a novel approach for treatment of hemophilia B. To obtain an improved expression of hFIX, the functional hFIX-expressing plasmids with appropriate intron-derived fragments which facilitate transcription and promote an efficient 3′-end formation of mRNAs are required.Objectives: We ai...
متن کاملAn allosteric self-splicing ribozyme triggered by a bacterial second messenger.
Group I self-splicing ribozymes commonly function as components of selfish mobile genetic elements. We identified an allosteric group I ribozyme, wherein self-splicing is regulated by a distinct riboswitch class that senses the bacterial second messenger c-di-GMP. The tandem RNA sensory system resides in the 5' untranslated region of the messenger RNA for a putative virulence gene in the pathog...
