Nonstructural Protein 11 of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Suppresses Both MAVS and RIG-I Expression as One of the Mechanisms to Antagonize Type I Interferon Production. [PDF]
Type I interferons (IFN-α/β) play a key role in antiviral defense, and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is known to down-regulate the IFN response in virus-infected cells and pigs.

An assay of ribonuclease H, endoribonucleases, and phosphatases. [PDF]
An assay for ribonuclease H (EC 3.1.4.34) is described which permits the estimation of the number and the type of cleavages produced by the enzyme when acting on the ribo moiety of a DNA-RNA hybrid substrate. With six different homopolymer hybrids tested, the number of enzymically induced breaks varied widely.

Biosynthesis of histone messenger RNA employs a specific 3' end endonuclease
Replication-dependent (RD) core histone mRNA produced during S-phase is the only known metazoan protein-coding mRNA presenting a 3' stem-loop instead of the otherwise universal polyA tail.

The endoribonuclease YbeY is linked to proper cellular morphology and virulence in 2 Brucella abortus [PDF]
The endoribonuclease YbeY is one of the most well conserved proteins across the kingdoms of life. In the present study, we demonstrate that YbeY in Brucella abortus is linked to a variety of important activities, including proper cellular morphology ...

Toxin-Antitoxin Systems as Multilevel Interaction Systems
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are small genetic modules usually composed of a toxin and an antitoxin counteracting the activity of the toxic protein. These systems are widely spread in bacterial and archaeal genomes.

Reversible and irreversible inhibitors of coronavirus Nsp15 endoribonuclease
The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019, has resulted in the largest pandemic in recent history. Current therapeutic strategies to mitigate this disease have focused on the development of vaccines and on drugs that inhibit the viral 3CL protease or RNA-dependent RNA polymerase ...

Bacteria utilize endoribonuclease-mediated RNA processing and decay to rapidly adapt to environmental changes. Here, we report that the modulation of hns mRNA stability by the endoribonuclease RNase G plays a key role in Salmonella Typhimurium ...

Endoribonucleases – enzymes gaining spotlight in mRNA metabolism [PDF]
The efficient turnover of messenger RNA represents an important mechanism that allows the cell to control gene expression. Until recently, the mechanism of mRNA decay was mainly attributed to exonucleases, comprising enzymes that degrade RNAs from the ends of the molecules.

Endoribonucleases associated with RNAs in chick embryos
proteins in hemopoietic rat cells were reported to have RNase activities [ 121. Similarly, an endogeneous endoribonucleolytic activity was found in the 50 S ribosomal subunit of Eschenihia coli [ 131. This paper describes the existence of a RNA-bound cytoplasmic endoribonuclease in chick embryo.
