Sentences with phrase «tetrahymena ribosomal»

Coupling of Tetrahymena ribosomal RNA splicing to beta - galactosidase expression in Escherichia coli

Splicing of the Tetrahymena ribosomal RNA precursor is mediated by the folded structure of the RNA molecule and therefore occurs in the absence of any protein in vitro.

Not exact matches

The chemical mechanisms of RNA - catalyzed reactions are discussed with emphasis on the self - splicing ribosomal RNA precursor of Tetrahymena and the enzymatic activities of its intervening sequence RNA.

The intervening sequence RNA excised from the ribosomal RNA precursor of Tetrahymena forms linear and circular oligomers when exposed to a heating - cooling treatment in vitro.

Unlike typical eukaryotic organisms, Tetrahymena has two nuclei — a micronucleus that contains normal chromosomes and a macronucleus whose chromosomes are fragmented into thousands of small pieces of DNA that all encode the same ribosomal RNA gene.
