Ribosome biogenesis governs protein synthesis. NIFK is transactivated by c-Myc, the key regulator of ribosome biogenesis. The biological function of human NIFK is not well established, except that it has been shown to interact with Ki67 and NPM1. Here we report that NIFK is required for cell cycle progression and participates in the ribosome biogenesis via its RNA recognition motif (RRM). We sh...

We have characterized the genetic and molecular origin of the reiterated reproductive meristem (RRM) somatic variant phenotype of grapevine cultivar Carignan. Here, we show that the extreme cluster proliferation and delayed anthesis observed in this somatic variant is caused by a single dominant mutation. Transcriptional profiling of Carignan and RRM plants during early stages of inflorescence ...

Background: It has been shown that there are electromagnetic resonances in biological molecules (proteins, DNA and RNA) in the wide range of frequencies including THz, GHz, MHz and KHz. These resonances could be important for biological function of macromolecules, as well as could be used in development of devices like molecular computers. As experimental measurements of macromolecular resonanc...

CstF-64 is a member of the Cleavage stimulation Factor (CstF) protein complex which plays an essential role in mRNA 3’-end processing and transcription termination at poly(A) sites. contains RNA recognition motif (RRM) that binds to G/U-rich sequences located downstream cleavage polyadenylation site. addition canonical RNA-binding motifs, it appears conformational changes C-terminal helix RRM d...

Here, we describe a new and simple synthetic strategy to various polycyclic sulfones via Diels-Alder reaction and ring-rearrangement metathesis (RRM) as the key steps. This approach delivers tri- and tetracyclic sulfones with six (n = 1), seven (n = 2) or eight-membered (n = 3) fused-ring systems containing trans-ring junctions unlike the conventional all cis-ring junctions generally obtained d...

This study developed a radar resource management (RRM) framework for maritime multifunctional (MFR) that performs surveillance and tracking of unknown targets. The proposed scheme consists two stages: target prioritization based on fuzzy logic beam scheduling approach transmits beams each appropriately. also takes into account the imperfect detection targets in real situation. A conventional he...

The serine/arginine-rich (SR) protein splicing factor 2/alternative splicing factor (SF2/ASF) has a role in splicing, stability, export and translation of messenger RNA. Here, we present the structure of the RNA recognition motif (RRM) 2 from SF2/ASF, which has an RRM fold with a considerably extended loop 5 region, containing a two-stranded beta-sheet. The loop 5 extension places the previousl...

Under the development of the self organizing network (SON) for long term evolution (LTE) systems, the radio resource management (RRM) with suitable frequency reuse technique is a vital factor in providing the required performance for future applications especially in the case of convergence of networks and services. A way to improve the scheduling process of the physical radio resource blocks (...

While BTG2 plays an important role in cellular differentiation and cancer, its precise molecular function remains unclear. BTG2 interacts with CAF1 deadenylase through its APRO domain, a defining feature of BTG/Tob factors. Our previous experiments revealed that expression of BTG2 promoted mRNA poly(A) tail shortening through an undefined mechanism. Here we report that the APRO domain of BTG2 i...

The RNA recognition motif (RRM) is the most abundant RNA-binding domain in eukaryotes, and it plays versatile roles in RNA metabolism. Despite its abundance, diversity of RRM structure and function is generated by variations on a conserved core. Yeast Nop15 is an RRM protein that is essential for large ribosomal subunit biogenesis. We determined a 2.0 Å crystal structure of Nop15 that reveals a...
