• adenine (A) - A nitrogenous base that occurs in DNA and RNA nucleotides and pairs with thymine (in DNA) or uracil (in RNA) through two hydrogen bonds. (rcsb.org)
  • The genetic information of life on Earth have been conserved in natural nucleotides-A, G, C, T(U) forming two exclusive sets of base pairs A-T(U) & G-C, that complementing to the fundamental processes of DNA replication & RNA transcription by several polymerases and translation to functional proteins via ribosomal reactions. (fortuneonline.org)
  • These findings culminated in the central dogma of molecular biology, that proteins are translated from RNA, which is transcribed from DNA. (addgene.org)
  • RNA is not only a mediator of genomic information encoded in DNA to the final products, proteins. (amegroups.org)
  • Our findings highlight how Mg2+ and proteins in multi-subunit RNPs together favor RNA conformations in a dynamic ensemble for functional gains. (bvsalud.org)
  • We summarize the recent findings of three epitranscriptomic marks-N6-methyladenosine (m 6 A), adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing, and 5-methylcytosine (m 5 C) as other epitranscriptomic marks are not studied extensively in the cardiovascular system and disease. (amegroups.org)
  • The review also outlines the vast applications of UBPs as novel information storage components as well as in creation of semi-synthetic organisms expressing non canonical amino acids, high affinity aptamer generation, PCR based diagnostics and sitespecific labelling of RNAs. (fortuneonline.org)
  • The lifecycle of RNA is more dynamic, where they can be modified by a variety of enzymes. (amegroups.org)
  • This new field of study extends further understanding of epigenetics from the perspective of RNA, where the terminologies are adopted from epigenetics, including writers, readers, and erasers to categorize epitranscriptomic enzymes. (amegroups.org)
  • These epitranscriptomic enzymes mark all kinds of RNA species, including mRNAs and ncRNAs, such as ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), transfer RNAs (tRNAs), miRNAs, and lncRNAs ( 11 ). (amegroups.org)
  • We further engineered fusion enzymes containing both Pfu RNA ligase and T4 polynucleotide kinase. (bvsalud.org)
  • Although they can be found in archaea and eukaryotes, they play the most significant biological role in bacteria where they can be passed from one bacterium to another by a type of horizontal gene transfer (conjugation), usually providing a benefit to the host, such as antibiotic resistance. (addgene.org)
  • The emergence of non-protein-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), especially microRNAs (miRNAs) and more recent long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), has shed a light on further dissecting the gene regulatory networks of the heart ( 3 , 4 ). (amegroups.org)
  • Here we cloned and characterized the Pfu RNA ligase encoded by the PF0353 gene in the hyperthermophilic archaea Pyrococcus furiosus. (bvsalud.org)
  • Although RNA modifications have been reported in many tissues and disease contexts, detailed functional studies in the heart and cardiovascular disease are only beginning to be reported. (amegroups.org)
  • The recent emergence of epitranscriptomics provides an avenue for identifying RNA modifications implicated in the pathophysiology of human disease. (amegroups.org)
  • Although RNA modifications have been reported in many tissues and disease contexts, detailed functional studies in the heart and cardiovascular disease are only beginning to be reported. (amegroups.org)
  • Indeed, more than 170 RNA modifications have been identified across species ( 6 ). (amegroups.org)
  • The recent discoveries of RNA modifications and their importance in normal and pathophysiological conditions have led to the emergence of new field of study called, epitranscriptomics ( 7 , 8 ). (amegroups.org)
