La secuencia de nucleótidos de un pseudogén beta-globina de conejo
Cell
|September 1, 1980
Resumen
El pseudogén de beta-globina de conejo (psi beta 2) no puede producir proteína funcional debido a las mutaciones de desplazamiento de marco y los codones de parada prematura. Se analizaron sus regiones no codificantes y su relación evolutiva con el gen funcional de la beta-globina (beta 1).

Sus antecedentes:
- Los genes de la beta-globina son cruciales para el transporte de oxígeno.
- Los pseudogenes son parientes de genes no funcionales que proporcionan información sobre la evolución de los genes.
- El pseudogén psí beta beta 2 de la beta-globina del conejo no ha sido completamente caracterizado.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para determinar la secuencia de nucleótidos del pseudogén beta-globina de conejo, psi beta 2.
- Para comparar psi beta 2 con el gen funcional de beta-globina de conejo adulto (beta 1).
- Para investigar la relación evolutiva entre psi beta 2 y beta 1.
Principales métodos:
- Secuenciación de nucleótidos del gen psi beta 2 del conejo.
- Análisis de comparación de secuencias entre psi beta 2 y beta 1.
- Examen de las secuencias de ADN en las uniones intrón/exón.
Principales resultados:
- La secuencia psi beta 2 contiene mutaciones de cambio de marco y codones de terminación prematura, que impiden la producción de proteínas funcionales.
- psi beta 2 posee dos secuencias intermedias (intrones) en ubicaciones conservadas.
- El análisis de las uniones intrón/exón sugiere posibles defectos de empalme en el mRNA precursor psi beta 2.
Conclusiones:
- El conejo psi beta 2 es un pseudogénero de beta-globina no funcional.
- La presencia y ubicación de los intrones se conservan entre los genes psi beta 2 y los genes funcionales de beta-globina.

During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA. Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R...

01:14Rab Proteins
4.0K
Rab proteins constitute the largest family of monomeric GTPases, of which 70 members are present in humans. Rab proteins and their effectors regulate consecutive stages of vesicle transport such as vesicle transport, docking, and fusion to the correct recipient membrane.
Rab proteins switch between a cytosolic, GDP-bound inactive state and a membrane-anchored, GTP-bound active state. By themselves, Rabs show slow rates of GDP/GTP exchange and GTP hydrolysis. Thus, Rab proteins are considered...

3.1K
The evolution of new genes is critical for speciation. Exon recombination, also known as exon shuffling or domain shuffling, is an important means of new gene formation. It is observed across vertebrates, invertebrates, and in some plants such as potatoes and sunflowers. During exon recombination, exons from the same or different genes recombine and produce new exon-intron combinations, which might evolve into new genes.

02:11Reporter Genes
11.4K
Reporter genes are a type of protein-coding gene that are often tagged to a gene of interest. Once inside a target cell, reporter genes usually produce visually identifiable characteristics like fluorescence and luminescence when expressed along with the gene of interest. Thus, reporter genes “report” the presence or absence of genes of interest in an organism, determine the gene expression pattern, or track the physical location of a DNA segment or protein in the cell.

02:24Ribosome Profiling
3.2K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
