It takes two (Las1 HEPN endoribonuclease domains) to cut RNA correctly

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2020
The ribosome biogenesis factor Las1 is an essential endoribonuclease that is well-conserved across eukaryotes and a newly established member of the higher eukaryotes and prokaryotes nucleotide-binding (HEPN) domain-containing nuclease family.

The Endoribonuclease RNase E Coordinates Expression of mRNAs and Small Regulatory RNAs and Is Critical for the Virulence of Brucella abortus

Journal of Bacteriology, 2020
Brucellosis is a debilitating disease of humans and animals globally, and there is currently no vaccine to combat human infection by Brucella spp. Moreover, effective antibiotic treatment in humans is extremely difficult and can lead to disease relapse ...

Protonated Glutamate and Aspartate Side Chains Can Recognize Phosphodiester Groups via Strong and Short Hydrogen Bonds in Biomacromolecular Complexes

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 64, Issue 27, July 1, 2025.
The highly negatively charged phosphodiester groups of nucleic acids and cyclic (di‐)nucleotides often interact with amino acids containing polar or positively charged sidechains. Due to charge repulsion with their negatively charged carboxylate groups in their side chains, glutamate and aspartate are considered to be detrimental to such interactions ...

Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Unfolded Protein Response Sensor ERN1 Regulates Organic Dust Induction of Lung Inflammation

FASEB BioAdvances, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Stress‐Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) sensor ERN1 regulates organic dust induction of lung inflammation. Treatment of bronchial epithelial cells and mouse lungs with organic dust extract increased ERN1 expression and activation.

Proteomic analysis of the excretory-secretory products from larval stages of Ascaris suum reveals high abundance of glycosyl hydrolases [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Ascaris lumbricoides and Ascaris suum are socioeconomically important and widespread parasites of humans and pigs, respectively. The excretory-secretory (ES) molecules produced and presented at the parasite-host interface during the different

Downregulation of PIK3CA via antibody-esiRNA-complexes suppresses human xenograft tumor growth. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Precision cancer therapy requires on the one hand detailed knowledge about a tumor's driver oncogenes and on the other hand an effective targeted therapy that specifically inhibits these oncogenes.

ESSENTIAL MEIOTIC ENDONUCLEASE 1 is required for chloroplast development and DNA repair in rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 2931-2948, July 2025.
Summary Chloroplast development is fundamental to photosynthesis and plant growth but is sensitive to environmental stress. Chloroplast development and division require genome stability and DNA repair, but the underlying mechanisms have been unclear. Using a forward genetic approach, we identified the striped‐leaf mutant k48 in the rice (Oryza sativa L.

RNA Recognition and Cleavage by the SARS Coronavirus Endoribonuclease

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2006
The emerging disease SARS is caused by a novel coronavirus that encodes several unusual RNA-processing enzymes, including non-structural protein 15 (Nsp15), a hexameric endoribonuclease that preferentially cleaves at uridine residues. How Nsp15 recognizes and cleaves RNA is not well understood and is the subject of this study.

Alkane biosynthesis gene expression and its increased production in recombinant cyanobacteria

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 15, Issue 6, Page 949-962, June 2025.
The transcription and mRNA structures of the alkane biosynthesis genes ado/aar were analysed in the representative cyanobacteria PCC 6803 and SK1‐2‐1, which produce C17H36 and C15H32, respectively. PCC 6803 transconjugants carrying these genes showed a 1.8‐ to 2.3‐fold increase in C17H36 production.
