SymR RNA
__NOTOC__ The SymE-SymR toxin-antitoxin system consists of a small symbiotic endonuclease toxin, SymE, and a non-coding RNA symbiotic RNA antitoxin, SymR, which inhibits SymE translation. SymE-SymR is a type I toxin-antitoxin system, and is under regulation by the antitoxin, SymR. The SymE-SymR complex is believed to play an important role in recycling damaged RNA and DNA. The relationship and corresponding structures of SymE and SymR provide insight into the mechanism of toxicity and overall role in prokaryotic systems. Discovery SymR was originally labelled RyjC and is a 77 nucleotide (nt) RNA with a σ70 promoter. RyjC was found to overlap the ''yjiW'' open reading frame on the opposite strand by 6 nt, and was characterized as an antisense RNA which bound the 5' untranslated region of ''yjiW''. Further study led to the renaming of both ''yjiW'' and RyjC to SymE (SOS-induced yjiW gene with similarity tMazE and SymR, respectively. Despite similarities to the AbrB superfamily ...

Meanwhile, the Athenian fleet was stationed at Samos under the command of Charminus.

The Man Who Was Thursday
''The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare'' is a 1908 novel by G. K. Chesterton. The book has been described as a metaphysical thriller. Plot summary Chesterton prefixed the novel with a poem written to Edmund Clerihew Bentley, revisiting the pair's early history and the challenges presented to their early faith by the times.
