Consensus inverted terminal repeat sequence of Paramecium IESs: resemblance to termini of Tc1-related and Euplotes Tec transposons.

Abstract:

:During the formation of a transcriptionally active macronucleus, ciliated protozoa excise large numbers of interstitial segments of DNA (internal eliminated sequences; IESs) from their chromosomes. In this study we analyze the published sequences of 20 IESs that interrupt surface protein genes of Paramecium and identify a consensus inverted terminal repeat. This sequence is similar to the ends of the Tc1-related transposons found in nematodes and other metazoans, as well as to both the ends of the Tec transposons and at least some of the IESs in the distantly related ciliate Euplotes crassus. The results of these analyses bolster previous proposals that IESs were created by transposition.

  • Use of ultra stable UNCG tetraloop hairpins to fold RNA structures: thermodynamic and spectroscopic applications.

    abstract::RNA molecules of > 20 nucleotides have been the focus of numerous recent NMR structural studies. Several investigators have used the UNCG family of hairpins to ensure proper folding. We show that th UUCG hairpin has a minimum requirement of a two base-pair stem. Hairpins with a CG loop closing base pair and an initial...
