Abstract
We benchmark the method using six molecules for which crystallographic data are available: tRNA(phe) and 5S rRNA from Escherichia coli, the P4-P6 domain of the Tetrahymena group I ribozyme, and ligand-bound domains from riboswitches for adenine, cyclic di-GMP, and glycine. SHAPE-directed modeling of...

Abstract
We have generated a cell line, EB delta1, with multiple mtDNA deletions, that is respiration-defective and generates high levels of superoxide, a reactive oxygen species. Treatment of EB delta1 with tagged polycistronic (pc) RNAs, encoding parts of the mitochondrial proteome, bound to a multi-subuni...

Abstract
Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) generate multi-system disorders due to failure of ATP production. A cybrid containing a 1.9-kb mtDNA deletion from a patient with Kearns Sayre Syndrome is respiration-defective and grows glycolytically. When treated with a ribonucleoprotein (RNP...

Abstract
We review modern developments in genomics and systems biology that have revolutionized our understanding of the multiple means by which translation is regulated. We suggest new means to model the process of translation in a richer framework that will incorporate information about gene sequences, the...

Abstract
I and III in the species B. cenocepacia is found to be responsible for the unusual distribution of essential genes. The present work may contribute to the understanding of how the secondary chromosomes of multipartite bacterial genomes originate and evolve. The computer program, DEG_match, for compa...

Abstract
We use multiparticle cryoelectron microscopy analysis to resolve two previously unseen subpopulations within Thermus thermophilus EF-G-ribosome complexes at subnanometre resolution, one of them with a partly translocated tRNA. Comparison of these substates reveals that translocation of tRNA on the 3...

Abstract
We characterized the Lsm protein from the haloarchaeon Haloferax volcanii using in vitro and in vivo approaches. H. volcanii encodes a single Lsm protein, which belongs to the Lsm1 subfamily. The lsm gene is co-transcribed and overlaps with the gene for the ribosomal protein L37e. Northern blot anal...

Abstract
The naturally occurring tRNA nucleoside preQ(0), 7-cyano-7-deazaguanosine, which is a central intermediate for other natural occurring 7-deazapurine nucleosides was synthesized via a copper(I)-ion-mediated iodo→carbonitrile exchange. The reaction was performed on the easily accessi...

Abstract
We explored the nuclear genome of the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis for the presence of mt-tRNA genes and their corresponding mt aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (mt-aaRS). We detected no candidates for mt-tRNA genes and only two mt-aaRS orthologs. At the same time, we found that all but one cytosolic...

Abstract
We performed a comprehensive sequence comparison of 286 tRNA introns and their genes in seven Thermoproteales species to clarify how these introns have emerged and diversified during tRNA gene evolution. We identified 46 intron groups containing sets of highly similar sequences (>70%) and showed tha...

Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence of mitochondrial genome of the Great bustard (Otis tarda) was determined by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. The genome is 16,849 bp in size, containing 13 protein-coding, 2 ribosomal and 22 transfer RNA genes. Sequences of the tRNA genes can be folded i...

In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome of Acraea issoria (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Heliconiinae: Acraeini) is reported; a circular molecule of 15,245 bp in size. For A. issoria, genes are arranged in the same order and orientation as the complete sequenced mitochondrial genomes of the oth...

We present the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of Eupolyphaga sinensis. This closed circular molecule is 15553 bp long and consists of 37 genes that encode for 13 inner membrane proteins, 2 ribosomal RNAs and 22 transfer RNAs. The genome shares the gene order and orientation with previously know...

We report the identification of related proteins that individually (Ligatin) or together (the oncogene MCT-1 and DENR, which are homologous to N-terminal and C-terminal regions of Ligatin, respectively) promote efficient eIF2-independent recruitment of Met-tRNA(Met)(i) to 40S/mRNA complexes, if atta...

Abstract
We show here that, in addition to tRNA(Asp-GTC), tRNA(Val-AAC) and tRNA(Gly-GCC) are also methylated by Dnmt2. Drosophila Dnmt2 mutants showed reduced viability under stress conditions, and Dnmt2 relocalized to stress granules following heat shock. Strikingly, stress-induced cleavage of tRNAs was Dn...

The interaction of meso-tetra-(4N-oxyethylpyridyl)porphyrin (TOEPyP4) and its Zn(II)-, Cu(II)-, Mn(III)-derivatives with tRNA from E.Coli at low ionic strength (micro=0.02M) was studied using UV/Vis spectrophotometry and Circular Dichroism (CD) methods. An unusual Induced Circular Dichroism (ICD) sp...

We have developed amber, opal, and ochre suppressor tRNAs derived from Escherichia coli, and yeast tRNA(Cys) that incorporate a chemically modified cysteine residue with high selectivity at the cognate UAG, UGA, and UAA stop codons in an in vitro translation system.

We show, using a combination of genetic, molecular, and biochemical approaches, that Isd11, in line with its strong association with Nfs, is localized in the mitochondrion of T. brucei. In addition to its involvement in Fe/S assembly, Isd11 also partakes in both cytoplasmic and mitochondrial tRNA th...
