Structural Biology of the Arterivirus nsp11 Endoribonucleases [PDF]
ABSTRACT Endoribonuclease (NendoU) is unique and conserved as a major genetic marker in nidoviruses that infect vertebrate hosts. Arterivirus nonstructural protein 11 (nsp11) was shown to have NendoU activity and play essential roles in the viral life cycle.

Processing Endoribonucleases and mRNA Degradation in Bacteria [PDF]
Volume 184, no. 17, p. 4645-4657, 2002. Page 4647, column 1, lines 42-45: The sentence should read “For example, one message in the T7 early polycistronic mRNA, as well as a few late messages, yields increased protein from RNase III cleavage while the others are not affected by such cleavages (41).”

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.

Identification of Small‐Molecule Inhibitors of the XendoU Endoribonucleases Family [PDF]
The XendoU family of enzymes includes several proteins displaying high sequence homology. The members characterized so far are endoribonucleases sharing similar biochemical properties and a common architecture in their active sites.

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,

Ribonucleases J1 and J2: two novel endoribonucleases in B.subtilis with functional homology to E.coli RNase E [PDF]
Many prokaryotic organisms lack an equivalent of RNase E, which plays a key role in mRNA degradation in Escherichia coli. In this paper, we report the purification and identification by mass spectrometry in Bacillus subtilis of two paralogous ...

Bacterial RNA degradation is typically initiated by endoribonucleases and followed by exoribonucleases. Here the authors report the targetome of endoRNase Y in Streptococcus pyogenes, revealing the interplay between RNase Y and 3′-to-5′ exoribonuclease ...

RNA promotes phase separation of glycolysis enzymes into yeast G bodies in hypoxia
In hypoxic stress conditions, glycolysis enzymes assemble into singular cytoplasmic granules called glycolytic (G) bodies. G body formation in yeast correlates with increased glucose consumption and cell survival.

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.

Role of Dicer-Dependent RNA Interference in Regulating Mycoparasitic Interactions
Dicer-like proteins (DCLs) play a vital role in RNA interference (RNAi), by cleaving RNA filament into small RNAs. Although DCL-mediated RNAi can regulate interspecific communication between pathogenic/mutualistic organisms and their hosts, its role in ...
