Sera from human subjects affected by autoimmune connective tissue diseases and containing antiribosomal autoantibodies were used to analyze by immunoblotting ribosomal proteins from trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) liver, mussel (Mytilus edulis) hepatopancreas and whole fly maggots (Calliphora vomitoria). As usual in medical analysis of autoantibodies, the reference antigen preparation was extracted from rat liver. With the used sera, six known ribosomal proteins from rat liver were characterized: P0, P1, P2, p30, p25 and p20. These six proteins were all targeted in trout; moreover an important 40 kDa fraction, undetectable in rat pattern, was seen. p30 and p20 were undetected in mussel and fly maggot; but p25, undetected in mussel, is clearly characterized in fly maggot. The interest of these data to infer phylogenic relationships is discussed.

Human L35a ribosomal protein (RPL35A) has been reported to confer higher drug resistance and viability to triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, but the mechanism related to its promotion of TNBC malignant progression is still unclear. Here, we found that silencing of RPL35A could inhibit the proliferation of TNBC cells by suppressing the G1/S phase transition. Furthermore, SMAD-specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2 (Smurf2) was found to be a potential upstream ubiquitin ligase of RPL35A.

The increasing availability of microbial genomes is essential to gain insights into microbial ecology and evolution that can propel biotechnological and biomedical advances. Recent advances in genome recovery have significantly expanded the catalogue of microbial genomes from diverse habitats. However, the ability to explain how well a set of genomes account for the diversity in a given environment remains challenging for individual studies or biome-specific databases.

elements are primate-specific retrotransposon sequences that comprise ∼11% of human genomic DNA. sequences contain an internal RNA polymerase III promoter and the resultant RNA transcripts mobilize by a replicative process termed retrotransposition. retrotransposition requires the Long INterspersed Element-1 (LINE-1) open reading frame 2-encoded protein (ORF2p).

NOC1, NOC2, and NOC3 are conserved nucleolar proteins essential for regulating ribosomal RNA (rRNA) maturation, a process critical for cellular homeostasis. NOC1, in and yeast, enhances nucleolar activity to sustain rRNA processing, whereas its depletion leads to impaired polysome formation, reduced protein synthesis, and apoptosis. These genes have vertebrate homologs called CEBPZ, NOC2L, and NOC3l.
