Double-stranded RNA elements associated with the MVX disease of Agaricus bisporus [PDF]
, 2003 Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) has been isolated from Agaricus bisporus fruit bodies exhibiting a wide range of disease symptoms. The symptoms which occurred singularly or in combination included; bare cropping areas on commercial beds (primordia disruption)

Cell Reports, 2014 Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can function as genetic information and may have served as genomic material before the existence of DNA-based life. By developing a method to purify dsRNA, we have investigated the diversity of dsRNA in microbial populations ...

UPF1 promotes the formation of R loops to stimulate DNA double-strand break repair
Nature Communications, 2021 R loops are formed when single-stranded RNA anneals to one strand of DNA, forming three-stranded structures containing DNA-RNA hybrids and the displaced non-template single-stranded DNA. Here the authors reveal that the DNA:RNA helicase UPF1 plays a role

Diverging affinity of tospovirus RNA silencing suppressor proteins, NSs, for various RNA duplex molecules [PDF]
, 2010 The tospovirus NSs protein was previously shown to suppress the antiviral RNA silencing mechanism in plants. Here the biochemical analysis of NSs proteins from different tospoviruses, using purified NSs or NSs containing cell extracts, is described.

Efficiency of RNA interference is improved by knockdown of dsRNA nucleases in tephritid fruit flies [PDF]
Open Biology, 2019 RNA interference (RNAi) in insects is routinely used to ascertain gene function, but also has potential as a technology to control pest species. For some insects, such as beetles, ingestion of small quantities of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is able to ...

RNA interference, growth and differentiation appear normal in African trypanosomes lacking Tudor staphylococcal nuclease. [PDF]
, 2010 Ribonucleases play important roles in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. The Dicer endonuclease converts double-stranded (ds)RNA into small interfering (si)RNA and the Slicer endonuclease, as a component of the RNA induced silencing complex (RISC ...

The influence of viral RNA secondary structure on interactions with innate host cell defences [PDF]
, 2013 RNA viruses infecting vertebrates differ fundamentally in their ability to establish persistent infections with markedly different patterns of transmission, disease mechanisms and evolutionary relationships with their hosts.

Targeting mitochondrial metabolites and nucleic acids as an anti-inflammatory strategy
Frontiers in Drug Discovery, 2023 Mitochondrial metabolites and their derivatives have been the focus of recent efforts to develop new anti-inflammatory therapeutics. The widely used therapeutic agents dimethyl fumarate (DMF) and metformin have anti-inflammatory properties and have been ...

Tracking Cryptosporidium parvum by Sequence Analysis of Small Double-Stranded RNA
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2001 We sequenced a 173-nucleotide fragment of the small double-stranded viruslike RNA of Cryptosporidium parvum isolates from 23 calves and 38 humans. Sequence diversity was detected at 17 sites.
