Disentangling Reticulate Evolution in an Arctic-Alpine Polyploid Complex (2009)
Guggisberg, Alessia, Mansion, Guilhem, Conti, Elena
Although polyploidy plays a fundamental role in plant evolution, the elucidation of polyploid origins is fraught with methodological challenges. For example, allopolyploid species may confound...

The removal of the 5′ cap structure by the DCP1–DCP2 decapping complex irreversibly commits eukaryotic mRNAs to degradation. In human cells, the interaction between DCP1 and DCP2 is bridged by...

Despite the remarkable species richness of the Mediterranean flora and its well-known geological history, few studies have investigated its temporal and spatial origins. Most importantly, the...

Background and Aims Earlier studies have suggested that the tetraploid Primula egaliksensis (2n = 40) originated from hybridization between the diploids P. mistassinica (2n = 18) and P. nutans (2n =...

To elucidate deeper relationships within Rauvolfioideae (Apocynaceae), a phylogenetic analysis was conducted using sequences from five DNA regions of the chloroplast genome (matK, rbcL, rpl16 intron,...

Although recent methodological advances have allowed the incorporation of rate variation in molecular dating analyses, the calibration procedure, performed mainly through fossils, remains resistant...

In order to test the monophyly of Mandevilla Lindl., the largest genus in tribe Mesechiteae (Apocynaceae, Apocynoideae), and its affinities to other genera in the tribe, maximum parsimony...

Phylogenetic analyses and molecular dating estimates based on chloroplast DNA sequences were used to establish the relationships of the southern and Southeast Asian Crypteroniaceae and elucidate...

Human TAP is implicated in mRNA nuclear export and is used by simian type D retroviruses to export their unspliced genomic RNA to the cytoplasm of the host cell. We have determined the crystal...
Molecular insights into the interaction of PYM with the Mago–Y14 core of the exon junction complex
Bono, Fulvia, Ebert, Judith, Unterholzner, Leonie, Güttler, Thomas, Izaurralde, Elisa, Conti, Elena
The exon junction complex (EJC) is deposited on mRNAs as a consequence of splicing and influences postsplicing mRNA metabolism. The Mago–Y14 heterodimer is a core component of the EJC. Recently,...

The association between Mtr2 and Mex67 is essential for the nuclear export of bulk messenger RNA in yeast. In metazoans, the analogous function is carried out by the TAP–p15 heterodimer. Whereas...

SMG6 and SMG5 are essential factors in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, a conserved pathway that degrades mRNAs with premature translation termination codons. Both SMG5 and SMG6 have been predicted to...
Structural and biochemical characterization of the yeast exosome component Rrp40
Oddone, Anna, Lorentzen, Esben, Basquin, Jerome, Gasch, Alexander, Rybin, Vladimir, Conti, Elena, ...
The exosome is a protein complex that is important in both degradation and 3′-processing of eukaryotic RNAs. We present the crystal structure of the Rrp40 exosome subunit from Saccharomyces...
RNA channelling by the archaeal exosome
Lorentzen, Esben, Dziembowski, Andrzej, Lindner, Doris, Seraphin, Bertrand, Conti, Elena
Exosomes are complexes containing 3′ → 5′ exoribonucleases that have important roles in processing, decay and quality control of various RNA molecules. Archaeal exosomes consist of a hexameric...
The catalytic domain of the murine glycosyltransferase Manic Fringe was expressed in insect cells. Removal by site-directed mutagenesis of two N-glycosylation sites present in the protein was...

Ska1 and Ska2 form a complex at the kinetochore–microtubule (KT–MT) interface and are required for timely progression from metaphase to anaphase. Here, we use mass spectrometry to search for...
