Transcription and methylation of flax rDNA.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The transcription of flax rDNA and the processing of the rRNA precursors is described. The location of methylated regions of the rDNA has been assayed, one of the least methylated regions maps close to the 5' end of the largest identified rRNA precursor.

MOLECULAR CLONING OF A PLANT rDNA FRAGMENT CONTAINING THE 5́ -PORTION OF 18S rRNA GENE AND ITS USE AS A PROBE IN INDIRECT END LABELING EXPERIMENTS
Plasmid pBG 35 contains the whole rDNA unit from flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) (Goldsbrough and Cullis, 1981). We cloned four different Eco RI restriction rDNA fragments of pBG 35 in the plasmid vector pBluescript SK+ (pBS). One of the subclones (p2.1) contained the most part of the 5 ́-end of 18S rRNA gene (1581 bp) and was used as a heterologous DNA probe in molecular hybridization experiments...
متن کاملHormonal Regulation of Ribosomal Rna Gene Expression in Excised Cotyledons of Cucurbita
In the present work we have studied the effects of exogenously applied methyl ester of jasmonic acid (MeJA) and benzyladenine (BA) on rRNA gene expression in the model system of excised marrow cotyledons (Cucurbita pepo L. zucchini). Treatment of cotyledons with BA or MeJA resulted in a 2-fold increase and a 25–30% decrease in the endogenous nuclear RNA polymerase I activity, respectively. The ...

Several types of histone modifications have been shown to control transcription. Recent evidence suggests that specific combinations of these modifications determine particular transcription patterns. The histone modifications most recently shown to play critical roles in transcription are arginine-specific and lysine-specific methylation. Lysine-specific histone methyltransferases all contain ...

Mycobacterium aviumsubspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), as an obligate intracellular bacterium, causes paratuberculosis (Johne’s disease) in ruminants. Plus, MAP has consistently been isolated from Crohn’s disease (CD) lesions in humans; a notion implying possible direct causative ...
متن کاملSET-domain bacterial effectors target heterochromatin protein 1 to activate host rDNA transcription.
Transcription of rRNA genes (rDNAs) in the nucleolus is regulated by epigenetic chromatin modifications including histone H3 lysine (de)methylation. Here we show that LegAS4, a Legionella pneumophila type IV secretion system (TFSS) effector, is targeted to specific rDNA chromatin regions in the host nucleolus. LegAS4 promotes rDNA transcription, through its SET-domain (named after Drosophila Su...
