Especially in the case of Buchnera, which possesses 50-200 chromosomes per cell [ 30] and in which nonfunctional pseudogenes can persist for long periods [ 31], selection for reduced DNA content seems an untenable explanation for its small genome.
Thus, loss of nmt55/p54 nrbprotein or the expression of nmt55/p54 nrbprotein variants in tumor cells may result in the loss of hERα expression, the expression of nonfunctional hERα or the altered expression other critical cell growth factors due to lack of proper pre-mRNA splicing.
Although nonfunctional pseudogenes can have characteristic structural features, some functional genes can also exhibit such features [ 27].
7), suggesting that the signaling pathway that leads to stress fiber formation is missing or nonfunctional in A549 cells.
They showed that the splice site at the 3' end of exon 7 was mutated from TAG GTATGT to TAG GTGTTG (where underlined sequence is the 3' end of exon 7 and ETn insertion sequence is in bold) and predicted that this site would be nonfunctional, thereby abolishing splicing of exon 7 to exon 8. They proposed that the T Wis allele would produce a transcript comprised of exons 1 through 7 followed by read-through transcription of the ETn element, resulting in a modified C-terminal end, or alternatively, that upstream splice donor sites would be used, shortening the transcript and protein product.
