Abstract

A novel algorithm has been developed to map restriction fragments, starting from experimental size values with realistic error rates. A high performing PASCAL program has been derived from this algorithm to construct linear maps in minimal computation times.

miR-503-3p promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition in breast cancer by directly targeting SMAD2 and E-cadherin.

Although progress in clinical and basic research has significantly increased our understanding of breast cancer, little is known about the molecular mechanism underlying breast cancer metastasis. Identification of effective therapeutic targets to prevent breast cancer metastasis is urgently needed. The function of miR-503-3p has been investigated in other cancers, but its role in breast cancer remains undefined. Here, we found that miR-503-3p was overexpressed in breast cancer tissue and plasma compared with adjacent normal breast tissue and with plasma from healthy individuals. Moreover, we identified miR-503-3p to be an oncogene of breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Upregulation of miR-503-3p in breast cancer cells inhibited expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related protein SMAD2 and the epithelial marker protein E-cadherin by directly binding to their mRNA 3' untranslated region, whereas increased expression of mesenchymal marker proteins, including vimentin and N-cadherin. Taken together, our findings support a critical role for miR-503-3p in induction of breast cancer EMT and suggest that plasma miR-503-3p may be a useful diagnostic biomarker for breast cancer.

Identification and characterization of Prp45p and Prp46p, essential pre-mRNA splicing factors.

Through exhaustive two-hybrid screens using a budding yeast genomic library, and starting with the splicing factor and DEAH-box RNA helicase Prp22p as bait, we identified yeast Prp45p and Prp46p. We show that as well as interacting in two-hybrid screens, Prp45p and Prp46p interact with each other in vitro. We demonstrate that Prp45p and Prp46p are spliceosome associated throughout the splicing process and both are essential for pre-mRNA splicing. Under nonsplicing conditions they also associate in coprecipitation assays with low levels of the U2, U5, and U6 snRNAs that may indicate their presence in endogenous activated spliceosomes or in a postsplicing snRNP complex.

The involvement of two distinct regions of 23 S ribosomal RNA in tRNA selection.

The role of ribosomal RNA in maintaining the accuracy of translation has been investigated genetically by selecting for rRNA mutations that promoted frameshifting at a specific site in a reporter gene in Escherichia coli. Mutations were recovered in two different regions of 23 S rRNA and each promoted readthrough of stop codons as well as increasing the levels of frameshifting. The first group of mutations was in a small stem loop (the 1916 loop) in domain IV of 23 S rRNA. This stem-loop has been mapped to the subunit interface of the ribosome, close to the decoding center on the 30 S subunit. The second group of mutations was in helix 89, one of the helices emerging from the central loop of domain V. Helix 89 has been implicated in subunit-subunit interactions and peptidyltransferase activity, and it is proposed that mutations in helix 89 influence the accuracy of decoding by affecting the interaction of the CCA end of the tRNA with the peptidyltransferase center.
