RNomics and Modomics in the halophilic archaea Haloferax volcanii: identification of RNA modification genes (2008)

Grosjean, Henri, Gaspin, Christine, Marck, Christian, Decatur, Wayne A

Abstract Background Naturally occurring RNAs contain numerous enzymatically altered nucleosides. Differences in RNA populations (RNomics) and pattern of RNA modifications (Modomics) depends on the...

Multiple Roles of the τ131 Subunit of Yeast Transcription Factor IIIC (TFIIIC) in TFIIIB Assembly

Dumay-Odelot, Hélène, Acker, Joël, Arrebola, Rosalia, Sentenac, André, Marck, Christian

Yeast transcription factor IIIC (TFIIIC) plays a key role in assembling the transcription initiation factor TFIIIB on class III genes after TFIIIC-DNA binding. The second largest subunit of TFIIIC,...

Protonated polynucleotides structures - 22.CD study of the acid-base titration of poly(dG).poly(dC)

Marck, Christian, Thiele, Danielle, Schneider, Christian, Guschlbauer, Wilhelm

The acid-base titration (pH 8 → pH 2.5 → pH 8) of eleven mixing curve samples of the poly(dG) plus poly(dC) system has been performed in 0.15 M NaCl. Upon protonation, poly(dG)·poly(dC) gives...

A simple method for the computation of first neighbour frequencies of DNAs from CD spectra

Marck, Christian, Guschlbauer, Wilhelm

A procedure for the computation of the first neighbour frequencies of DNA's is presented. This procedure is based on the first neighbour approximation of Gray and Tinoco. We show that the knowledge...

tRNomics: analysis of tRNA genes from 50 genomes of Eukarya, Archaea, and Bacteria reveals anticodon-sparing strategies and domain-specific features.

Marck, Christian, Grosjean, Henri

From 50 genomes of the three domains of life (7 eukarya, 13 archaea, and 30 bacteria), we extracted, analyzed, and compared over 4,000 sequences corresponding to cytoplasmic, nonorganellar tRNAs. For...

Identification of BHB splicing motifs in intron-containing tRNAs from 18 archaea: evolutionary implications

MARCK, CHRISTIAN, GROSJEAN, HENRI

Most introns of archaeal tRNA genes (tDNAs) are located in the anticodon loop, between nucleotides 37 and 38, the unique location of their eukaryotic counterparts. However, in several Archaea, mostly...

The RNA polymerase III-dependent family of genes in hemiascomycetes: comparative RNomics, decoding strategies, transcription and evolutionary implications

Marck, Christian, Kachouri-Lafond, Rym, Lafontaine, Ingrid, Westhof, Eric, Dujon, Bernard, Grosjean, Henri

We present the first comprehensive analysis of RNA polymerase III (Pol III) transcribed genes in ten yeast genomes. This set includes all tRNA genes (tDNA) and genes coding for SNR6 (U6), SNR52, SCR1...

Dicistronic tRNA–5S rRNA genes in Yarrowia lipolytica: an alternative TFIIIA-independent way for expression of 5S rRNA genes

Acker, Joël, Ozanne, Christophe, Kachouri-Lafond, Rym, Gaillardin, Claude, Neuvéglise, Cécile, Marck, Christian

In eukaryotes, genes transcribed by RNA polymerase III (Pol III) carry their own internal promoters and as such, are transcribed as individual units. Indeed, a very few cases of dicistronic Pol III...
