The genome of Tetranychus urticae reveals herbivorous pest adaptations

Miodrag Grbic, +60 more
- 24 Nov 2011 - 
TL;DR: The Tetranychus urticae genome is the smallest known arthropod genome as discussed by the authors, which represents the first complete chelicerate genome for a pest and has been annotated with genes associated with feeding on different hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI

miRNA-Mediated Gene Silencing by Translational Repression Followed by mRNA Deadenylation and Decay

TL;DR: The kinetics of these events in miRNA-mediated gene silencing are investigated by using a Drosophila S2 cell-based controllable expression system and show that mRNAs with both natural and engineered 3′ untranslated regions with miRNA target sites are first subject to translational inhibition, followed by effects on deadenylation and decay.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Parsimonious Model for Gene Regulation by miRNAs

TL;DR: More systematic analyses of the molecular specificities of the core components coupled with analysis of the relative timing of the different events will ultimately shed light on the mechanism of miRNA-mediated repression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and activity of the N-terminal substrate recognition domains in proteasomal ATPases.

TL;DR: The structures suggest a molecular mechanism for substrate processing based on concerted radial motions of the coiled coilsrelative to the OB rings relative to the N domains of an archaeal proteasomal ATPase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ribosomes slide on lysine-encoding homopolymeric A stretches

TL;DR: It is shown that mRNAs encoding iterated lysine codons, AAA or AAG, differentially impact protein synthesis: insertion of iterated AAA codons into an ORF diminishes protein expression more than insertion of synonymous AAG codons.
