Group II intron RNAs self-splice in vitro but only at high salt and/or Mg²⁺ concentrations and have been thought to require proteins to stabilize their active structure for efficient splicing in vivo.
The first high-resolution views of group II intron maturases illuminate the architectural and functional roles of these multidomain proteins in splicing and DNA invasion. The maturases show striking ...
University of California (UC), San Diego, biochemists studying the evolutionary origins and history of RNA splicing and the human genome combined two-dimensional (2D) images of individual molecules to ...
Phase IIb trial of fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and paclitaxel (POF) compared with fluorouracil, feucovorin, and irinotecan (IF) as first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer (AGC) ...
Bacterial group II introns are large catalytic RNAs related to nuclear spliceosomal introns and eukaryotic retrotransposons. They self-splice, yielding mature RNA, and integrate into DNA as ...
Alternative splicing, a clever way a cell generates many different variations of messenger RNAs -- single-stranded RNAs involved in protein synthesis -- and proteins from the same stretch of DNA, ...
RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Alternative splicing, a clever way a cell generates many different variations of messenger RNAs — single-stranded RNAs involved in protein synthesis — and proteins from the same ...
