- Regulación de las comunicaciones celulares.
Sus antecedentes:
- Anteriormente se pensaba que la regulación de la meiosis en la levadura era principalmente transcripcional.
- El producto del gen MER2 es esencial para la meiosis.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar la regulación posttranscripcional de la meiosis. para investigar la regulación posttranscripcional de la meiosis. para investigar la regulación posttranscripcional de la meiosis. para investigar la regulación posttranscripcional de la meiosis. para investigar la regulación posttranscripcional de la meiosis.
- Para identificar el papel del gen MER1 en la meiosis.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis de la transcripción y el empalme del gen MER2 en levaduras.
- Análisis genético de las interacciones de los genes MER1 y MER2.
Principales resultados:
- MER2 se transcribe tanto en la mitosis como en la meiosis, pero se empalma de manera eficiente solo durante la meiosis.
- El empalme meiótico de MER2 depende del producto del gen MER1, que se produce sólo en las células meióticas.
- La proteína MER1 media el empalme de los transcritos MER2.
Conclusiones:
- La meiosis en la levadura está regulada posttranscripcionalmente.
- La proteína MER1 es esencial para el empalme de MER2 durante la meiosis.
- MER1 puede regular el empalme de otros genes meioticos.

01:28Yeast Signaling
Yeasts are single-celled organisms, but unlike bacteria, they are eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus). Cell signaling in yeast is similar to signaling in other eukaryotic cells. A ligand, such as a protein or a small molecule released from a yeast cell, attaches to a receptor on the cell surface. The binding stimulates second-messenger kinases to activate or inactivate transcription factors that further regulate gene expression. Many of the yeast intracellular signaling cascades have similar...
01:32RNA Splicing
Splicing is the process by which eukaryotic RNA is edited before its translation into protein. The RNA strand transcribed from eukaryotic DNA is called the primary transcript. The primary transcripts that become mRNAs are called precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs). Eukaryotic pre-mRNA contains alternating sequences of exons and introns. Exons are nucleotide sequences that code for proteins, whereas introns are the non-coding regions. In RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons are bonded...

02:18Alternative RNA Splicing
Alternative RNA splicing is the regulated splicing of exons and introns to produce different mature mRNAs from a single pre-mRNA. Unlike in constitutive splicing where a single gene produces a single type of mRNA, alternative splicing allows an organism to produce multiple proteins from a single gene and plays an important role in protein diversity.
There are five types of alternative RNA splicing that vary in the ways the pre-mRNA segments are removed or retained in the mature mRNA. The first...
