Restricted Specificity of Xenopus TFIIIA for Transcription of Somatic 5S rRNA Genes: Molecular and Cellular Biology: Vol 24, No 6

Xenopus transcription factor IIIA (TFIIIA) is phosphorylated on serine-16 by CK2. Replacements with alanine or glutamic acid were made at this position in order to address the question of whether phosphorylation possibly influences the function of this factor. Neither substitution has an effect on the DNA or RNA binding activity…

1. Introduction The ribosomal genes (rDNA) encoding 18S, 5.8S, 28S, and 5S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) are key elements of eukaryotic genomes, since their products are directly involved in the biogenesis and functioning of the ribosomes providing for protein synthesis. Multiple 45S rDNA clusters of the 18S, 5.8S, and 28S rRNA…

Effects of adverse fertility-related factors on mitochondrial DNA in the oocyte: a comprehensive review

The decline of oocyte quality has profound impacts on fertilization, implantation, embryonic development, and the genetic quality of future generations. One factor that is often ignored but is involved in the decline of oocyte quality is mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) abnormalities. Abnormalities in mtDNA affect the energy production of mitochondria, the…

Paternal aging impacts mitochondrial DNA content and telomere length in mouse embryos

Advanced paternal age results in low fertility, regardless of natural or assisted reproductive technology (Brandt et al., 2019, Kovac et al., 2013). Furthermore, the offspring of aged male subjects reportedly exhibit an increased risk of childhood cancer, psychological disease, and obstetrical complications (Brandt et al., 2019, Kovac et al., 2013)….

BMP-6 and SMAD4 gene expression is altered in cumulus cells from women with endometriosis-associated infertility

Introduction Oocyte competence and quality depend on communication between the oocyte and the cumulus and theca cells. In the preantral phase, the members of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) superfamily are responsible for this communication and play an important role in folliculogenesis. Members of the TGF-β superfamily are related…

Mechanisms involved in the transmission of genetic diseases from mother to child

Mitochondria are the organelles that produce most of the chemical energy needed by the cell. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contains 16,569 nucleotides that can be mutated. Some of these mutations can lead to the development of mitochondrial diseases. While nuclear DNA (the well-known double helix, which encodes most of the genome)…
