This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biotechnology including medical applications depends on the yeast as biofermenter to produce many industrial products including pharmaceutical ones. Although yeasts are first known as useful microorganisms, some of them are identified as pathogens for plants, animals, and humans. Due to the simple cellular structure of the yeast among other microbial groups, it is used in the earliest investigations to determine the features of eukaryotic molecular biology, cell biology, and physiology. The economic income of some countries mainly depends on yeast for producing the economic products, such as France that depends on yeast for wine production. This book throws light on yeast and its important role in the medical applications.

Download or read book Nucleic Acid Polymerases written by Katsuhiko S. Murakami and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a review of the multitude of nucleic acid polymerases, including DNA and RNA polymerases from Archea, Bacteria and Eukaryota, mitochondrial and viral polymerases, and other specialized polymerases such as telomerase, template-independent terminal nucleotidyl transferase and RNA self-replication ribozyme. Although many books cover several different types of polymerases, no book so far has attempted to catalog all nucleic acid polymerases. The goal of this book is to be the top reference work for postgraduate students, postdocs, and principle investigators who study polymerases of all varieties. In other words, this book is for polymerase fans by polymerase fans. Nucleic acid polymerases play a fundamental role in genome replication, maintenance, gene expression and regulation. Throughout evolution these enzymes have been pivotal in transforming life towards RNA self-replicating systems as well as into more stable DNA genomes. These enzymes are generally extremely efficient and accurate in RNA transcription and DNA replication and share common kinetic and structural features. How catalysis can be so amazingly fast without loss of specificity is a question that has intrigued researchers for over 60 years. Certain specialized polymerases that play a critical role in cellular metabolism are used for diverse biotechnological applications and are therefore an essential tool for research.

Download or read book Cells Molecules and Mechanisms written by Eric Wong and published by Axolotl Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Yet another cell and molecular biology book? At the very least, you would think that if I was going to write a textbook, I should write one in an area that really needs one instead of a subject that already has multiple excellent and definitive books. So, why write this book, then? First, it's a course that I have enjoyed teaching for many years, so I am very familiar with what a student really needs to take away from this class within the time constraints of a semester. Second, because it is a course that many students take, there is a greater opportunity to make an impact on more students' pocketbooks than if I were to start off writing a book for a highly specialized upper- level course. And finally, it was fun to research and write, and can be revised easily for inclusion as part of our next textbook, High School Biology."--Open Textbook Library.

Download or read book RNA Exosome written by Torben Heick Jensen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-29 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diversity of RNAs inside living cells is amazing. We have known of the more “classic” RNA species: mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, snRNA and snoRNA for some time now, but in a steady stream new types of molecules are being described as it is becoming clear that most of the genomic information of cells ends up in RNA. To deal with the enormous load of resulting RNA processing and degradation reactions, cells need adequate and efficient molecular machines. The RNA exosome is arising as a major facilitator to this effect. Structural and functional data gathered over the last decade have illustrated the biochemical importance of this multimeric complex and its many co-factors, revealing its enormous regulatory power. By gathering some of the most prominent researchers in the exosome field, it is the aim of this volume to introduce this fascinating protein complex as well as to give a timely and rich account of its many functions. The exosome was discovered more than a decade ago by Phil Mitchell and David Tollervey by its ability to trim the 3’end of yeast, S. cerevisiae, 5. 8S rRNA. In a historic account they laid out the events surrounding this identification and the subsequent birth of the research field. In the chapter by Kurt Januszyk and Christopher Lima the structural organization of eukaryotic exosomes and their evolutionary counterparts in bacteria and archaea are discussed in large part through presentation of structures.

Download or read book Analysis of Nuclear DNA dependent RNA Polymerase Subunits and Tata binding Protein from Plants written by Robert Morgan Larkin and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past several years, our laboratory has characterized genes and/or cDNAs encoding many of the Arabidopsis RNA polymerase II subunits as well as a few RNA polymerase I and III subunits. Here, an analysis of the 13.6, 14.1, 16.4, 23.7, 24.3 and 135 kDa subunits of nuclear RNA polymerases from Arabidopsis is presented. These subunits are encoded by single copy genes and are expressed in Arabidopsis suspension culture cells. Comparisons of derived amino acid sequences of these Arabidopsis RNA polymerase subunits with other species suggest that nuclear RNA polymerases are highly conserved in subunit composition. A few plant RNA polymerase subunits were found to contain unique properties relative to other eukaryotic RNA polymerase subunits. For example, the 14.1 kDa subunit contains a noncolinear arrangement of conserved sequence motifs, and the 23.7 and 24.3 kDa subunits are related to a subunit that is encoded by a single gene in yeast. Similarities in amino acid sequence between subunits in eukaryotic and E. coli RNA polymerases suggest that the eukaryotic enzymes contain a group of subunits that are related to the $\beta\sp\prime\beta(\alpha)\sb2$ structure of E. coli RNA polymerase. Using these relationships, reconstitution experiments have been initiated with recombinant subunits from all three Arabidopsis nuclear RNA polymerases and yeast RNA polymerase II. Reconstitution of ($\alpha)\sb2$-like assembly intermediates with Arabidopsis and yeast subunits was carried out as an initial step towards renaturation of RNA polymerase II from recombinant subunits. Renaturation of RNA polymerase from a minimal number of recombinant subunits will provide a powerful tool for the analysis of enzyme assembly and subunit function. Purified nuclear RNA polymerases cannot accurately initiate RNA synthesis in vitro and require a number of basal transcription factors to faithfully initiate transcription in vitro. In animal cells, the TATA-binding protein (TBP) is a common subunit in four transcription factors that are required for promoter recognition by RNA polymerase I, II and III. Little is known about basal transcription factors in plants. Studies on plant TBP were initiated for reconstituting in vitro transcription systems and establishing associations between plant TBP and transcription factor complexes. A cDNA encoding soybean TBP was isolated and found to be very similar to other plant TBPs. This cDNA was used to express soybean TBP in E. coli and antibodies were raised to the recombinant factor. These antibodies were used to follow the partial purification of TBP from different species using different strategies. Plant TBP complexes resemble yeast TBP complexes in that they are easily disrupted upon cell lysis and purification, resulting in a large amount of TBP that is not associated with other factors. Strategies were developed that allow for the isolation of multiple TBP complexes in a partially pure form.
