MRPS16 Rabbit Pab

Leader in Biomolecular Solutions for Life Science MRPS16 Rabbit pAb Catalog No.: A9874 Basic Information Background Catalog No. Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and help in A9874 protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. They have an estimated 75% Observed MW protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, where this ratio is 15kDa reversed. Another difference between mammalian mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the latter contain a 5S rRNA. Among different species, the proteins Calculated MW comprising the mitoribosome differ greatly in sequence, and sometimes in biochemical 13kDa/15kDa properties, which prevents easy recognition by sequence homology. This gene encodes a 28S subunit protein that belongs to the ribosomal protein S16P family. The encoded Category protein is one of the most highly conserved ribosomal proteins between mammalian and yeast mitochondria. Three pseudogenes (located at 8q21.3, 20q13.32, 22q12-q13.1) Primary antibody for this gene have been described.

The architecture of mitoribosomes is mainly composed of mitochondrial ribosomal proteins (MRPs), which are encoded by nuclear genomic DNA. Emerging experimental evidences reveal that several MRPs are multifunctional and they exhibit important extra-mitochondrial functions, such as involvement in apoptosis, protein biosynthesis and signal transduction. Dysregulations of the MRPs are associated with severe pathological conditions, including cancer.

The effect of mutated mitochondrial ribosomal proteins S16 and S22 on the assembly of the small and large ribosomal subunits in human mitochondria Md. Emdadul Haque1, Domenick Grasso1,2, Chaya Miller3, Linda L Spremulli1, and Ann Saada3,# 1 Department of Chemistry, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC-27599-3290 3 Metabolic Disease Unit, Hadassah Medical Center, P.O.B. 12000, 91120 Jerusalem, Israel Abstract Mutations in mitochondrial small subunit ribosomal proteins MRPS16 or MRPS22 cause severe, fatal respiratory chain dysfunction due to impaired translation of mitochondrial mRNAs. The loss of either MRPS16 or MRPS22 was accompanied by the loss of most of another small subunit protein MRPS11. However, MRPS2 was reduced only about 2-fold in patient fibroblasts. This observation suggests that the small ribosomal subunit is only partially able to assemble in these patients. Two large subunit ribosomal proteins, MRPL13 and MRPL15, were present in substantial amounts suggesting that the large ribosomal subunit is still present despite a nonfunctional small subunit. Keywords Mitochondria; ribosome; ribosomal subunit; respiratory chain complexes; ribosomal proteins 1. Introduction The 16.5 kb human mitochondrial genome encodes 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs and thirteen polypeptides. These proteins, which are inserted into the inner membrane and assembled with nuclearly encoded polypeptides, are essential components of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes (MRC) I, III, IV and V.

Methods: Herein, we used high-throughput sequencing to identify the target molecule MRPS16. Subsequently, we detected MRPS16 protein and mRNA expression levels in normal brain tissue (NBT) and different grades of glioma tissue.

The authors wish to note, “The availability of the high-reso- lution structures of the complete 55 S mitoribosome recently published in Amunts et al. (1) and Greber et al. (2) have shown that our cryo-EM map is consistent with their high-resolution coordinates. However, a comparison with these two studies shows that at our resolution of 7 Å, some of our placements, particularly of the mito-specific MRPs, were in error. While this comparison highlights the difficulty of interpretation of multiple nonhomologous MRPs at our modest resolution, it also shows that the fold of the nucleic acid component of the RNP complex, the 12S rRNA, could be traced. We will be updating our pre- viously published coordinates in light of the new papers.” 1. Amunts A, Brown A, Toots J, Scheres SHW, Ramakrishnan V (2015) Ribosome.

Many Minute loci correspond to disruptions of genes for cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins, and therefore the phenotype has been attributed to alterations in translational processes. Although protein translation is crucial for all cells in an organism, it is unclear why Minute mutations cause effects in specific tissues. To determine whether the heart is sensitive to haploinsufficiency of genes encoding ribosomal proteins, we measured heart function of Minute mutants using optical coherence tomography. We found that cardiomyopathy is associated with the Minute syndrome caused by haploinsufficiency of genes encoding cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins. While mutations of genes encoding non-Minute cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins are homozygous lethal, heterozygous deficiencies spanning these non-Minute genes did not cause a change in cardiac function.
