Double-stranded RNA attenuates the barrier function of human pulmonary artery endothelial cells. [PDF]
Circulating RNA may result from excessive cell damage or acute viral infection and can interact with vascular endothelial cells. Despite the obvious clinical implications associated with the presence of circulating RNA, its pathological effects on ...

RNA interference is ineffective as a routine method for gene silencing in chick embryos as monitored by fgf8 silencing. [PDF]
The in vivo accessibility of the chick embryo makes it a favoured model system for experimental developmental biology. Although the range of available techniques now extends to miss-expression of genes through in ovo electroporation, it remains difficult

Characterization of a novel virus associated with the MVX disease of Agaricus bisporus [PDF]
‘Mushroom Virus X’ (MVX) disease of the cultivated mushroom Agaricus bisporus first arose in UK during the 1990’s. This disease resulted in devastating crop losses in the UK and gradually became more widespread (e.g. Netherlands and Eire).

Double-stranded RNA elements associated with the MVX disease of Agaricus bisporus [PDF]
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)

Single-molecule conductance of double-stranded RNA oligonucleotides [PDF]
RNA oligonucleotides are crucial for a range of biological functions and in many biotechnological applications. Herein, we measured, for the first time, the conductance of individual double-stranded (ds)RNA molecules and compared it with the conductance ...

LGP2 plays a critical role in sensitizing mda-5 to activation by double-stranded RNA. [PDF]
The DExD/H box RNA helicases retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I) and melanoma differentiation associated gene-5 (mda-5) sense viral RNA in the cytoplasm of infected cells and activate signal transduction pathways that trigger the production of type I ...

Diverging affinity of tospovirus RNA silencing suppressor proteins, NSs, for various RNA duplex molecules [PDF]
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.

Detection of genome-scale ordered RNA structure (GORS) in genomes of positive-stranded RNA viruses:Implications for virus evolution and host persistence [PDF]
Discrete RNA secondary and higher-order structures, typically local in extent, play a fundamental role in RNA virus replication. Using new bioinformatics analysis methods, we have identified genome-scale ordered RNA structure (GORS) in many genera and ...

NrnC from Agrobacterium tumefaciens (At_NrnC, UniProt accession number A9CG28) is a nuclease containing a single DEDDy domain. Here, we determined the structures of both the apo and metal-ion-bound forms of At_NrnC.

RNA interference targets arbovirus replication in Culicoides cells [PDF]
Arboviruses are transmitted to vertebrate hosts by biting arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks and midges. These viruses replicate in both arthropods and vertebrates and are thus exposed to different antiviral responses in these organisms.
