Detection of tRNA Genes with Introns from DNA Sequences of Archaea
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the progress of genome projects, a vast amount of nucleotide sequence data is now available, which makes it possible to study the species-specific gene expression systems involving transcription and translation for a wide range of organisms. To understand species-specific translation system, it is important for comprehending the whole set of tRNAs for individual species. We have been developing a procedure for detecting tRNA genes from DNA sequences [3]. Some of the tRNA genes in Archaea and Eukaryotes have introns [1]. In the present study, we have improved the procedure to find them out.

Identified Hybrid tRNA Structure Genes in Archaeal Genome
Background: In Archaea, previous studies have revealed the presence of multiple intron-containing tRNAs and split tRNAs. The full unexpurgated analysis of archaeal tRNA genes remains a challenging task in the field of bioinformatics, because of the presence of various types of hidden tRNA genes in archaea. Here, we suggested a computational method that searched for widely separ...
متن کاملCharacterization of a whole set of tRNA molecules in an aerobic hyper-thermophilic Crenarchaeon, Aeropyrum pernix K1.
The tRNA molecule has an important role in translation, the function of which is to carry amino acids to the ribosomes. It is known that tRNA is transcribed from tRNA genes, some of which, in Eukarya and Archaea, contain introns. A computational analysis of the complete genome of Aeropyrum pernix K1 predicted the presence of 14 intron-containing tRNA genes. To elucidate whether these introns ar...
متن کاملExperimental Confirmation of a Whole Set of tRNA Molecules in Two Archaeal Species
Based on the genomic sequences for most archaeal species, only one tRNA gene (isodecoder) is predicted for each triplet codon. This observation promotes analysis of a whole set of tRNA molecules and actual splicing patterns of interrupted tRNA in one organism. The entire genomic sequences of two Creanarchaeota, Aeropyrum pernix and Sulfolobus tokodaii, were determined approximately 15 years ago...
متن کاملDisrupted tRNA Genes and tRNA Fragments: A Perspective on tRNA Gene Evolution
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs with lengths of approximately 70-100 nt. They are directly involved in protein synthesis by carrying amino acids to the ribosome. In this sense, tRNAs are key molecules that connect the RNA world and the protein world. Thus, study of the evolution of tRNA molecules may reveal the processes that led to the establishment of the central dogma: geneti...
متن کاملHandling tRNA introns, archaeal way and eukaryotic way
Introns are found in various tRNA genes in all the three kingdoms of life. Especially, archaeal and eukaryotic genomes are good sources of tRNA introns that are removed by proteinaceous splicing machinery. Most intron-containing tRNA genes both in archaea and eukaryotes possess an intron at a so-called canonical position, one nucleotide 3' to their anticodon, while recent bioinformatics have re...
