Eukaryotic ribosomes are complex molecular nanomachines translating genetic information from mRNAs into proteins. There is natural heterogeneity in ribosome composition. The pseudouridylation (ψ) of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) one the key sources heterogeneity. Nevertheless, functional consequences ψ-based and its relevance for human disease yet to be understood. Using HydraPsiSeq a chronic model no...

Faba bean gall (FBG) is a devastating disease of faba (Vicia faba) in Ethiopia. Studies were undertaken first to compare and contrast similarities between FBG symptoms morphology Ethiopia with those reported earlier China and, secondly, identify definitively the causal agent, previously considered as Olpidium viciae, through molecular studies. Morphological studies confirmed an epibiotic phase ...

Vietnam contains diverse marine ecosystems with the high biodiversity of organisms, including gorgonian corals Alcyonacea order. In order to support traditional classification these corals, in this study mitochondrial barcoding markers msh1 and nuclear 28S rDNA were developed for analysis 11 specimens collected 2015 2016 from different islands bays along North Central coast Vietnam. Phylogeneti...

Ribosome-inactivating Proteins (RIPs) are a group of cytotoxin proteins that usually contain a RNA N-glycosidase domain, which irreversibly inactivates ribosome, thus inhibiting protein synthesis. During the past 14 years (1990-2004), the studies conducted in our laboratory had been focusing on the structure and enzymatic mechanism of several PIPs. Herein, we briefly described a summary of the ...

Re-examination of the holotype of Burmoniscus kitadaitoensis Nunomura, 2009 from Kitadaitojima Island, southern Japan reveals that this species is a junior synonym of B. meeusei (Holthuis, 1947). Partial regions of mitochondrial COI, 12S and 16S rRNA genes, and nuclear 18S and 28S rRNA genes were detected for species identification in the future.

We describe a new species of an amphipod Niphargus zagorae sp. n. and redescribe its nearest relative and morphologically similar species N. boskovici S. Karaman, 1952. We present the geographic distributions of both species, morphological diagnoses and infer their phylogenetic position within the genus based on COI, 28S and H3 markers.
