Co-transcription of Rhizobium meliloti lysyl-tRNA synthetase and glutamyl-tRNA synthetase genes.

Abstract:

:An open reading frame encoding a putative polypeptide very similar to several lysyl-tRNA synthetases was found 10 nucleotides downstream of Rhizobium meliloti gltX encoding glutamyl-tRNA synthetase. Expression of this gene complemented a mutation in lysS of Escherichia coli and led to the overexpression of a polypeptide of the expected mass (62 kDa), thus confirming that it encodes R. meliloti lysyl-tRNA synthetase. Reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction was used to demonstrate that this lysS gene is co-transcribed with gltX in R. meliloti. This is the first reported case of two immediately adjacent and co-transcribed genes encoding aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.

  • miR-1273g-3p modulates activation and apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells by directly targeting PTEN in HCV-related liver fibrosis.

    abstract::MicroRNA (miRNA) play a pivotal role in the development of liver fibrosis. However, the functions of miRNA in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related liver fibrosis remain unclear. In this study, we systematically analyzed the microarray data of the serum miRNA in patients with HCV-induced hepatic fibrosis. Among 41 dysregula...
