unusual facts about ribosomal RNA



Endocannabinoid system

Results from rat hippocampal gene chip data after acute administration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) showed an increase in the expression of transcripts encoding myelin basic protein, endoplasmic proteins, cytochrome oxidase, and two cell adhesion molecules: NCAM, and SC1; decreases in expression were seen in both calmodulin and ribosomal RNAs (Kittler et al., 2000).

Myriochelata

The evidence for this relationship between myriapods and cheilcerates derives from comparisons of nuclear ribosomal RNA genes, mitochondrial ribosomal RNA genes, and protein-coding genes.

PIN domain

In eukaryotes PIN domains are found in proteins involved in nonsense mediated mRNA decay, in proteins such as SMG5 and SMG6, and in processing of 18S ribosomal RNA.

RN5S1@

RNA, 5S cluster 1, also known as RN5S1@, is a human gene encoding the 5S subunit of ribosomal RNA.

Small nucleolar RNA R160

snoR160 was identified by computational screening of the rice Oryza sativa and is predicted to acts as a methylation guide for 25S ribosomal RNA in plants.

Small nucleolar RNA R41

snoR41 was identified by computational screening the rice Oryza sativa genome and is predicted to act as a methylation guide for 18S and 25S ribosomal RNA (rRNA).

Archaea were first classified as a separate group of prokaryotes in 1977 by Carl Woese and George E. Fox based on the differences in the sequence of ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) genes.

snoR12 was identified by computational screen of the rice Oryza sativa genome and is predicted to acts as a methylation guide for 25S ribosomal RNA in plants.

Small nucleolar RNA R66

snoR66 was identified by a computational screening of the rice Oryza sativa genome and is proposed to acts as a methylation guide for 18S ribosomal RNA in plants.
