AbstractThe Angiostrongylus lungworms are of public health and veterinary concern in many countries. At the family level, the Angiostrongylus lungworms have been included in the family Angiostrongylidae or the family Metastrongylidae. The present study was undertaken to determine the usefulness and suitability of the nuclear 18S (small subunit, SSU) rDNA sequences for differentiating various taxa of the genus Angiostrongylus, as well as to determine the systematics and phylogenetic relationship of Angiostrongylus species and other metastrongyloid taxa.

ABSTRACT The SSU processome is required for production of the small ribosomal subunit RNA, the 18S rRNA. Specifically, the U3 small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) component of the SSU processome is essential for the formation of the conserved central pseudoknot and for cleavages of the pre-rRNA, both of which are required for 18S maturation. To further elucidate how these events are mediated, we examined the regulatory and mechanistic roles of the U3 specific proteins: Imp3p, Imp4p, and Mpp10p. We found that these proteins demonstrated an interdependence with respect to their stability and to their as

Analyses showed that H. hammondi and T. gondii are monophyletic and that these taxa shared a common ancestor with N. caninum and B. besnoiti. The weight of evidence shows that S. mucosa, S. neurona, and Frenkelia species form a clade thereby supporting the conclusion that Sarcocystis is paraphyletic.

Abstract U3 snoRNA and the associated Rrp9/U3-55K protein are essential for 18S rRNA production by the SSU-processome complex. U3 and Rrp9 are required for early pre-rRNA cleavages at sites A0, A1 and A2, but the mechanism remains unclear. Substitution of Arg 289 in Rrp9 to Ala (R289A) specifically reduced cleavage at sites A1 and A2. Surprisingly, R289 is located on the surface of the Rrp9 β-propeller structure opposite to U3 snoRNA. To understand this, we first characterized the protein-protein interaction network of Rrp9 within the SSU-processome. This identified a direct interaction betwee

ABSTRACT Metarhizium viride has been associated with fatal systemic mycoses in chameleons, but subsequent data on mycoses caused by this fungus in reptiles are lacking. The aim of this investigation was therefore to obtain information on the presence of M. viride in reptiles kept as pets in captivity and its association with clinical signs and pathological findings as well as improvement of diagnostic procedures. Beside 18S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) (small subunit [SSU]) and internal transcribed spacer region 1 (ITS-1), a fragment of the large subunit (LSU) of 28S rDNA, including domain 1 (D1) and

A phylogenetic analysis based on small subunit (SSU) rDNA sequences shows the lecanoralean lichen families Caliciaceae and Physciaceae form a well-supported monophyletic group within the order Lecanorales (Ascomycotina). Support for this relationship is present from anatomical data, in particular data from spore ontogeny, where close similarities between the pattern of development of spore surface structures in the two families are pointed out. The Caliciaceae-Physciaceae group is characterized by having thick-walled, pigmented spores, often with a distinctive ornamentation which is usually fo

Differentiating between the Cryptosporidium species and their subtypes using only microscopy is impossible. Therefore, molecular tools are indispensable for accurate species and subtype diagnosis. However, if these tools are to be used correctly and accurately, the techniques used must be standardised.

Both species might be heterogenous and should be treated as species aggregates. The representative mode of conidiogenesis for these two species was nodular-annellid

The genus Tripylina is sister to Trischistoma and Trefusia de Man, 1893 and is more closely related to Enoplida than to Triplonchida. Our phylogenetic results indicate that Tripylina should be placed in Enoplida.

Abstract:
The small nucleolar RNA snR30 (U17 in humans) plays a unique role during ribosome synthesis. Unlike most members of the H/ACA class of guide RNAs, the small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein (snoRNP) complex assembled on snR30 does not direct pseudouridylation of ribosomal RNA (rRNA), but instead snR30 is critical for 18S rRNA processing during formation of the small subunit (SSU) of the ribosome. Specifically, snR30 is essential for three pre-rRNA cleavages at the A0/01, A1/1, and A2/2a sites in yeast and humans, respectively. Accordingly, snR30 is the only essential H/ACA guide RNA in yeast.
