A cDNA clone for a type II regulatory (R) subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) was isolated from a rat skeletal muscle library using a specific 47-base oligonucleotide probe. The rat cDNA was 1.2 kilobases (kb) in length and contained an open reading frame of 1.113 kb representing 92% of the coding region of the molecule. Nick-translated rat cDNA was then used to isolate a mouse RII cDNA clone from a brain library that contained an open reading frame of 1.143 kb. Because both cDNAs lacked complete coding sequences, the remainder of the RII coding region was obtained from a 15-kb mouse genomic clone. The mouse RII coding region contains 1.2 kb corresponding to a 400-amino acid protein of 51.141 kDa. The mouse cDNA hybridizes to two mRNA species, a 2.4-kb form that was only observed in testis and a 6.0-kb form found in a wide range of tissues, including testis.

Proper 5'-3' cotranslational mRNA decay in yeast requires import of Xrn1 to the nucleus.

The budding yeast Xrn1 protein shuttles between the nucleus, where it stimulates transcription, and the cytoplasm, where it executes the major cytoplasmic mRNA decay. In the cytoplasm, apart from catalyzing 5'→3' decay onto non translated mRNAs, Xrn1 can follow the last translating ribosome to degrade the decapped mRNA template, a process known as "cotranslational mRNA decay". We have previously observed that the import of Xrn1 to the nucleus is required for efficient cytoplasmic mRNA decay.

Plant breeding needs to embrace genetic innovations to ensure stability in crop yields under fluctuating climatic conditions. Development of commercial hybrid varieties has proven to be a sustainable and economical alternative to deliver superior yield, quality and resistance with uniformity in a number of food crops. Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), a maternally inherited inability to produce functional pollen, facilitates a three-line system for efficient hybrid seed production strategies in crops.

Biochemistry textbooks describe eukaryotic mRNAs as monocistronic. However, increasing evidence reveals the widespread presence and translation of upstream open reading frames preceding the "main" ORF. DNA and RNA viruses infecting eukaryotes often produce polycistronic mRNAs and viruses have evolved multiple ways of manipulating the host's translation machinery.

Male sterility in peach (Prunus persica L.), characterized by the absence of fertile pollen grains in the anther, is determined by a recessive allele in homozygosis of the major gene located on chromosome 6. Developing tightly linked molecular markers can help identify appropriate peach parents or male-sterile plants for early culling in segregating progenies, thereby increasing breeding efficiency.
