Abstract

Synthesis of the 45S rRNA by RNA polymerase I limits cell growth. Knowledge of the mechanism of its regulation is therefore key to understanding growth control. rRNA transcription is believed to be regulated solely at initiation/promoter release. However, we found that stimulation of endogenous 45S rRNA synthesis by epidermal growth factor (EGF) and serum failed to induce an increase in RNA polymerase I engagement on the rRNA genes, despite robust enhancement of 45S rRNA synthesis. Further, endogenous transcription elongation rates were measured and found to be directly proportional to 45S rRNA synthesis. Thus, elongation is a rate-limiting step for rRNA synthesis in vivo. ERK phosphorylation of the HMG boxes of UBF, an RNA polymerase I factor essential for transcription enhancement, was shown to directly regulate elongation by inducing the remodeling of ribosomal gene chromatin. The data suggest a mechanism for coordinating the cotranscriptional assembly of preribosomal particles.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.
