Messenger RNA degradation is initiated at the 5′ end and follows sequence- and condition-dependent modes in chloroplasts
2011
Using reporter gene constructs, consisting of the bacterial uidA (GUS) coding region flanked by the 5' and 3' regions of the Chlamydomonas rbcL and psaB genes, respectively, we studied the degradation of mRNAs in the chloroplast of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in vivo. Extending the 5' terminus of transcripts of the reporter gene by more than 6 nucleotides triggered rapid degradation. Placing a poly(G) tract, known to pause exoribonucleases, in various positions downstream of the 5' terminus blocked rapid degradation of the transcripts. In all these cases the 5' ends of the accumulating GUS transcripts were found to be trimmed to the 5' end of the poly(G) tracts indicating that a 5' → 3' exori…
Equilibrium in a duopoly game with homogeneous adaptive expectations and isoelastic demand
2011
In this paper we consider a non linear discrete time Cournot duopoly game with isoelastic demand and where players have homogeneous adaptive expectations. The evolution of expected outputs over time is generated by the iteration of two-dimensional map and the long-run behavior is characterized by equilibrium points which are locally stable.
