AT-AC introns: an ATtACk on dogma
Article Abstract:
A small class of introns from precursor RNAs are were found to be spliced to form messenger RNA by a different mechanism than 99.9% of pre-mRNA introns. Instead of the GT and AG nucleotides at the intron ends, the new class ends in AT and AC, and are removed by the small nuclear RNAs U11 and U12.

Regulation by redox poise in chloroplasts
Article Abstract:
Photosynthesis is shown to reduce thiredoxin, which in turn activates the translation of psbA messenger RNA, in a model by A. Danon and S.P. Mayfield. An analysis of their work on the single-celled Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is given.

The end of the message - another link between yeast and mammals
Article Abstract:
Research indicates that the sequence signals in yeast messenger RNA (MRNA) are related to those in mammalian mRNA precursors. The machinery that determines the mRNA 3' end is conserved between yeast and mammals.
