RNA‐modifying machines in archaea
@article{Omer2003RNAmodifyingMI, title={RNA‐modifying machines in archaea}, author={Arina D. Omer and Sonia M Ziesche and Wayne A. Decatur and Maurille J. Fournier and Patrick P. Dennis}, journal={Molecular Microbiology}, year={2003}, volume={48} }
It has been known for nearly half a century that coding and non‐coding RNAs (mRNA, and tRNAs and rRNAs respectively) play critical roles in the process of information transfer from DNA to protein. What is both surprising and exciting, are the discoveries in the last decade that cells, particularly eukaryotic cells, contain a plethora of non‐coding RNAs and that these RNAs can either possess catalytic activity or can function as integral components of dynamic ribonucleoprotein machines. These…

Recognition of a complex substrate by the KsgA/Dim1 family of enzymes has been conserved throughout evolution.
- BiologyRNA
- 2006
KsgA orthologs from archaeabacteria and eukaryotes are able to complement for KsgA function in bacteria, both in vivo and in vitro, indicating that all of these enzymes can recognize a common ribosomal substrate, and that the recognition elements must be largely unchanged since the evolutionary split between the three domains of life.

Small nucleolar RNA‐guided post‐transcriptional modification of cellular RNAs
- Biology, ChemistryThe EMBO journal
- 2001
Post‐transcriptional modification of individual ribonucleotides, namely deamination of adenosines and cytidines, can also change the readout of mRNAs, and lack of ribosomal pseudouridines can reduce the growth rate or confer a selective disadvantage when it is competed against wild‐type ribosomes.
A guided tour: small RNA function in Archaea
- BiologyMolecular microbiology

It is suggested that archaeal sRNAs may have two functions: to guide the deposition of methyl groups at the 2′‐O position of ribose, which is an important determinant in RNA structural stability, and to serve as a molecular chaperones to help orchestrate the folding of rRNAs and tRNAs at high temperature.
