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...

A Well-Connected and Conserved Nucleoplasmic Helicase Is Required for Production of Box C/D and H/ACA snoRNAs and Localization of snoRNP Proteins

King, Thomas H., Decatur, Wayne A., Bertrand, Edouard, Maxwell, E. Stuart, Fournier, Maurille J.

Biogenesis of small nucleolar RNA-protein complexes (snoRNPs) consists of synthesis of the snoRNA and protein components, snoRNP assembly, and localization to the nucleolus. Recently, two...

Genome-wide searching for pseudouridylation guide snoRNAs: analysis of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome

Schattner, Peter, Decatur, Wayne A., Davis, Carrie A., Ares, Manuel, Fournier, Maurille J., Lowe, Todd M.

One of the largest families of small RNAs in eukaryotes is the H/ACA small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), most of which guide RNA pseudouridine formation. So far, an effective computational method...

A systematic, ligation-based approach to study RNA modifications

Saikia, Mridusmita, Dai, Qing, Decatur, Wayne A., Fournier, Maurille J., Piccirilli, Joseph A., Pan, Tao

Over 100 different chemical types of modifications have been identified in thousands of sites in tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNAs, small nuclear RNAs, and other RNAs. Some modifications are highly conserved,...

New bioinformatic tools for analysis of nucleotide modifications in eukaryotic rRNA

Piekna-Przybylska, Dorota, Decatur, Wayne A., Fournier, Maurille J.

This report presents a valuable new bioinformatics package for research on rRNA nucleotide modifications in the ribosome, especially those created by small nucleolar RNA:protein complexes (snoRNPs)....

Fine-Tuning of Translation Termination Efficiency in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Involves Two Factors in Close Proximity to the Exit Tunnel of the Ribosome

Hatin, Isabelle, Fabret, Céline, Namy, Olivier, Decatur, Wayne A., Rousset, Jean-Pierre

In eukaryotes, release factors 1 and 3 (eRF1 and eRF3) are recruited to promote translation termination when a stop codon on the mRNA enters at the ribosomal A-site. However, their overexpression...

The 3D rRNA modification maps database: with interactive tools for ribosome analysis

Piekna-Przybylska, Dorota, Decatur, Wayne A., Fournier, Maurille J.

The 3D rRNA modification maps database is the first general resource of information about the locations of modified nucleotides within the 3D structure of the full ribosome, with mRNA and tRNAs in...

Different Mechanisms for Pseudouridine Formation in Yeast 5S and 5.8S rRNAs▿

Decatur, Wayne A., Schnare, Murray N.

The selection of sites for pseudouridylation in eukaryotic cytoplasmic rRNA occurs by the base pairing of the rRNA with specific guide sequences within the RNA components of box H/ACA small nucleolar...
