Catalytic Knockdown of miR-21 by Artificial Ribonuclease: Biological Performance in Tumor Model. [PDF]
Control of the expression of oncogenic small non-coding RNAs, notably microRNAs (miRNAs) is an attractive therapeutic approach. We report a design platform for catalytic knockdown of miRNA targets with artificial, sequence-specific ribonucleases ...

Rethinking Leucine Zipper : ribonuclease activity and structural dynamics of a ubiquitous oligomerization motif [PDF]
This dissertation focuses on structural, dynamic and catalytic properties of a Leucine Zipper (LZ) motif – a family of protein oligomerization domains which belong to the structural class of coiled coil proteins.

Zinc Ion-Dependent Peptide Nucleic Acid-Based Artificial Enzyme that Cleaves RNABulge Size and Sequence Dependence [PDF]
In this report, we investigate the efficiency and selectivity of a Zn2+-dependent peptide nucleic acid-based artificial ribonuclease (PNAzyme) that cleaves RNA target sequences. The target RNAs are varied to form different sizes (3 and 4 nucleotides, nt)

Dressing up artificial viral capsids self-assembled from C-terminal-modified beta-annulus peptides [PDF]
A variety of chemical approaches for the rational design of artificial proteins and peptides have been developed in recent years for the construction of self-assembled nanocapsules. It was previously found that a synthetic 24-mer β-annulus peptide, which

Construction of Ribonuclease-Decorated Artificial Virus-like Capsid by Peptide Self-assembly [PDF]
Artificial virus-like capsids decorated with ribonuclease S (RNase S) on their exterior were constructed by the self-assembly of β-annulus-S-peptide and the interaction between S-peptide moiety and S-protein.

A novel biological actions acquired by ribonuclease through oligomerization
After a short introduction with some examples of cytotoxic ribonucleases, the importance of natural or artificial dimerization (oligomerization) as a way for a ribonuclease to acquire novel functional properties has been pointed out.
