... DNA replication, which could help clarify the role certain hormones play in some cancers. The Gerbi lab also studies the structure, evolution and biogenesis of ribosomes (the factories in the cell that make proteins), and her lab's work has opened the possibility for a new class of antibiotics. Gerbi ...Scientists at CSHL uncover new RNA processing mechanism and a new class of small RNAs
... mascRNA, which is smaller than most tRNAs, does not likely perform this function. Yet mascRNA's location in the cell's cytoplasm and its pathway of biogenesis does hint at a possible function. Spector suspects it may act as a "sponge" for proteins, preventing them from reaching their natural destinations ...Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation awards prestigious fellowships to 14 top young investigators
... Sunny D. Gilbert, PhD, with her sponsor James C. Carrington, PhD, at the Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, is using a model of small RNA biogenesis in plants to study the basic mechanisms governing the process of RNA silencing, which is conserved in different organisms. As this process is ...US Academy honors 15 for major contributions to science
... University of California, Los Angeles. Merchant was chosen "for her pioneering discoveries in the assembly of metalloenzymes and the regulated biogenesis of major complexes of the photosynthetic apparatus in green algae." J. Lawrence Smith Medal, a medal and prize of $25,000 awarded every three ...NIH grants enable energy studies
... the cell takes to make cytochrome c is called the biogenesis pathway. There are three different pathways ... Frawley who have engineered two of the three biogenesis pathways in E. coli. Now they will engineer the ... generation. This work also is linked to the biogenesis pathways, and began as collaboration between the ...Scientists at CSHL discover mobile small RNAs that set up leaf patterning in plants
... leaf's top half, but mildly or hardly affected at the bottom, thus creating a sharp boundary between leaf sections with different fates. Ta-siRNA biogenesis is spatially controlled In addition to mobility, the team attributes the unique distribution pattern of these small RNAs to the way they are ...Scientists at CSHL discover mobile small RNAs that set up leaf patterning in plants

... are emerging as major transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. DICER, an RNaseIII enzyme, plays a role in the biogenesis of microRNAs; recently there has been a flurry of activity to determine the developmental role of DICER by whole-organism and conditional gene ...Study shows more genes are controlled by biological clocks
... acids into polypeptide chains by binding a messenger RNA and then using this as a template to connect the correct sequence of amino acids. Ribosome biogenesis is the process of making ribosomes, so knowledge that the process is under clock control adds a dramatic new dimension to the clock's inherent ...Identification of a novel class of (not-so) small RNAs
... identified classes of plant small RNAs, there are also some important differences: In addition to their relatively large size, lsiRNAs have unique biogenesis and target degradation pathways. Dr. Jin adds that Our study suggests that small RNA families and small RNA-mediated gene regulation are far more ...Power-boosting signal in muscle declines with age
... AMPK pathway has reduced activity," Shulman said. "So, one probably has to work harder to maintain the same level of fat oxidation and mitochondrial biogenesis in muscle." The number of mitochondria within muscle largely determines its metabolic capacity. The mitochondrial composition of fibers in ...Sleeping sickness parasite shows how cells divide their insides
... newly-made proteins to different membranes in the cell. "Basal bodies in particular and centrosomes in general have been implicated in the biogenesis of a number of membrane-bound organelles," said Warren. "It prompted us to study further their role in Golgi duplication." Warren's group has ...Cylene Pharmaceuticals Appoints Kenna Anderes, Ph.D. as Vice President of Cancer Biology
... created multiple product candidates in different stages of development. Cylene's most advanced cancer agent, quarfloxin (CX-3543), is a ribosomal RNA biogenesis Inhibitor (RBI) in Phase II clinical development in patients having chronic lymphocytic leukemia and in late-stage Phase I development in ...
