Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many modern geneticists attempt to elucidate the molecular basis of phenotype by utilizing a battery of techniques derived from physical chemistry on subcellular components isolated from various species of organisms. Volume 5 of the Handbook of Genetics provides explanations of the advantages and shortcomings of some of these revolutionary tech niques, and the nonspecialist is alerted to key research papers, reviews, and reference works. Much of the text deals with the structure and func tioning of the molecules bearing genetic information which reside in the nucleus and with the processing of this information by the ribosomes resid ing in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. The mitochondria, which also live in the cytoplasm of the cells of all eukaryotes, now appear to be separate little creatures. These, as Lynn Margulis pointed out in Volume 1, are the colonial posterity of migrant prokaryotes, probably primitive bacteria that swam into the ancestral precursors of all eukaryotic cells and remained as symbionts. They have maintained themselves and their ways ever since, replicating their own DNA and transcribing an RNA quite different from that of their hosts. In a similar manner, the chloroplasts in all plants are self-replicating organelles presumably derived from the blue-green algae, with their own nucleic acids and ribosomes. Four chapters are devoted to the nucleic acids and the ribosomal components of both classes of these semi-independent lodgers. Finally, data from various sources on genetic variants of enzymes are tabulated for ready reference, and an evaluation of this information is attempted.

Book Cytoplasmic fate of messenger RNA

Download or read book Cytoplasmic fate of messenger RNA written by Philippe Jeanteur and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among all cellular RNA species of the three main types, ribosomal RNA, transfer RNA or messenger RNA, be they from prokaryotic or eukaryotic organisms, the prokaryotic mRNA is unique in that it has no precursor and is synthesized in the same mature form as it is translated into proteins. In fact, ribosomes join the nascent mRNA chain and engage in protein synthesis long before its transcription is complete. Provisions are even made for slowing down the ribo somes at some sites to prevent them from catching up with the RNA-polymerase. Of course, such a situation is only possible in the prokaryotic world where there is no such thing as a nuclear mem brane physically secluding the transcription process from the cy toplasm where translation is restricted. Quite in the opposite extreme, the eukaryotic pre-messenger RNA has to suffer many and sometimes drastic steps of maturation (capping, polyadenylation, splicing, edition) before the decision is made to export it to the cytoplasm. That is where it enters the scope of this book. Once in the cytoplasm, many options are still open to it: its entrance into polysomes may be delayed (as it is in unfertilized eggs) or merely prohibited (ferritin mRNA in iron-starved cells), directed to specific locations within the cytoplasm or be more or less rapidly degraded. During gametogenesis and early development, translational control is probably the most significant level of gene expression.

Book Nucleic Acid Hybridization in the Study of Cell Differentiation

Download or read book Nucleic Acid Hybridization in the Study of Cell Differentiation written by H. Ursprung and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The informational content of cells is encoded in the nucleotide sequences of their DNA. The restrictions on base pairing- A pairing with T (U), and G pairing with C - in nature assures the fidelity of replication of DNA in cell division, and of transcription. In the test tube, these restrictions can be exploited for ascertaining similarities and dissimilarities of nucleic acids of varying origin by measuring the kinetics of reassociation of polynucleotides to double-stranded molecules in DNA DNA renaturation or RNA-DNA hybridization experiments, and by determining the thermal stability and other physical-chemical properties of the resulting hybrid molecules. This method has enormous potential for developmental biology. It offers a more direct approach to the ever-present question of the genetic identity of different cell types in an individual organism, and a more direct test of the hypothesis of diffe rential gene function. It offers the possibility of localizing genes on chromosomes without the use of Mendelian genetics. It is an indispensable tool in the isolation, purification, and characterization of genes. This volume brings together six articles by investigators actively working on various aspects of developmental biology who use nucleic acid hybridization as a tool in their research. Sound in theory, the method is in a honing phase as regards the technical detail. This is expressed in the hesitation with which some of the conclusions are rightly drawn.

Book Eukaryotic Gene Regulation

Download or read book Eukaryotic Gene Regulation written by Gerald M. Kolodny and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cause of cancer and its many manifestations is at present unknown. Since many of its manifestations, including is control of cell division, appear to represent abnormal patterns of gene expression, studies of the regulation of gene expression nwill provide important insights in the understanding and treatment of cancer. This volume attempts to present some of the recent work on regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic cells.

Book Leading edge Messenger RNA Research Communications

Download or read book Leading edge Messenger RNA Research Communications written by Martin H. Ostrovskiy and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: mRNA (messenger RNA) is the mediating template between DNA and proteins. The information from a particular gene is transferred from a strand of DNA by the construction of a complementary strand of RNA through a process known as transcription. Next three nucleotide segments of RNA, called tRNA (transfer RNA), which are attached to specific amino acids, match up with the template strand of mRNA to order the amino acids correctly. These amino acids are then bonded together to form a protein. This process, called translation occurs in the ribosome, which is composed of proteins and the third kind of RNA, rRNA (ribosomal RNA). This important book presents research from around the globe on this very active field of scientific investigation.
