Modification of the six members of two androecial whorls is characteristic of Zingiberales, with a reduction in number of fertile stamen from five or six in the banana families (Musaceae, Strelitziaceae, Lowiaceae, and Heliconiaceae) to one in Costaceae and Zingiberaceae and one‐half in Marantaceae and Cannaceae. The remaining five infertile stamens in these later four families (the ginger families) are petaloid, and in Costaceae and Zingiberaceae fuse together to form a novel structure, the labellum. Within this developmental sequence, Heliconiaceae share with the ginger families the possession of an antisepalous staminode, a synapomorphy that has been used to place Heliconiaceae as sister to the ginger family clade. Here, we use epi‐illumination light microscopy and reconstruction of serial sections to investigate the ontogeny of theHeliconiaflower with emphasis on the ontogeny of the staminode. We compare floral development inHeliconiawith that previously described for other species of Zingiberales. A comparison of floral structure and development across Zingiberales is presented to better understand the evolution of the flower in this charismatic group of tropical plants.}, number={3}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF BOTANY}, author={Kirchoff, Bruce K. and Lagomarsino, Laura P. and Newman, Winnell H. and Bartlett, Madelaine E. and Specht, Chelsea D.}, year={2009}, month={Mar}, pages={580–593} }

The eight-nucleotide TA loop base pairs with eight complementary nucleotides in the TA binding sequence (TABS) of the capsid protein subgenomic promoter on RNA-1 and trans-activates subgenomic RNA synthesis. Short synthetic oligoribonucleotide mimics of the RNA-1 TABS and the RNA-2 TA form a weak 1:1 bimolecular complex in vitro with a K(a) of 5.3 x 10(4) M(-1). K(a) determination for a series of RNA-1 and RNA-2 mimic variants indicated optimum stability is obtained with seven-base complementarity. Thermal denaturation and NMR show that the RNA-1 TABS 8mers are weakly ordered in solution while RNA-2 TA oligomers form the predicted hairpin. NMR diffusion studies confirmed RNA-1 and RNA-2 oligomer complex formation in vitro. MC-Sym generated structural models suggest that the bimolecular complex is composed of two stacked helices, one being the stem of the RNA-2 TA hairpin and the other formed by the intermolecular base pairing between RNA-1 and RNA-2. The RCNMV TA structural model is similar to those for the Simian retrovirus frameshifting element and the Human immunodeficiency virus-1 dimerization kissing hairpins, suggesting a conservation of form and function.}, number={9}, journal={NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={Guenther, RH and Sit, TL and Gracz, HS and Dolan, MA and Townsend, HL and Liu, GH and Newman, WH and Agris, PF and Lommel, SA}, year={2004}, month={May}, pages={2819–2828} }

An experimental system, including an affinity selection method, was designed to identify primary RNA-binding peptide sequences without bias to known amino acid sequences and without incorporating nonspecific binding of the anionic RNA backbone. Nitrocellulose binding assays were used to evaluate the binding of RNA by peptide-displaying bacteriophage. Amino acid sequences of RNA-binding bacteriophage were determined from the foreign insert DNA sequences, and peptides corresponding to the RNA-binding bacteriophage inserts were chemically synthesized. Peptide affinities for the RNAs (Kd approximately 0.1-5.0 microM) were analyzed successfully using fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopies. These methodologies demonstrate the feasibility of rapidly identifying, isolating, and initiating the analyses of small peptides that bind to RNAs in an effort to define better the chemistry, structure, and function of protein-RNA complexes.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF PROTEIN CHEMISTRY}, author={Agris, PF and Marchbank, MT and Newman, W and Guenther, R and Ingram, P and Swallow, J and Mucha, P and Szyk, A and Rekowski, P and Peletskaya, E and et al.}, year={1999}, month={May}, pages={425–435} }
