Fifty Shades of Erns: Innate Immune Evasion by the Viral Endonucleases of All Pestivirus Species
The genus Pestivirus, family Flaviviridae, includes four historically accepted species, i.e., bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV)-1 and -2, classical swine fever virus (CSFV), and border disease virus (BDV).

Characterization of MazF-Mediated Sequence-Specific RNA Cleavage in Pseudomonas putida Using Massive Parallel Sequencing. [PDF]
Under environmental stress, microbes are known to alter their translation patterns using sequence-specific endoribonucleases that we call RNA interferases. However, there has been limited insight regarding which RNAs are specifically cleaved by these RNA

Alu retrotransposons belong to the class of short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs). Alu RNA is abundant in cells and its repetitive structure forms double-stranded RNAs (dsRNA) that activate dsRNA sensors and trigger innate immune responses with ...

Substrate specificity of human MCPIP1 endoribonuclease [PDF]
AbstractMCPIP1, also known as Regnase-1, is a ribonuclease crucial for regulation of stability of transcripts related to inflammatory processes. Here, we report that MCPIP1 acts as an endonuclease by degrading several stem-loop RNA structures and single-stranded RNAs.

T2 ribonucleases are endoribonucleases that are found in every organism and that carry out important biological functions. In plants, T2 ribonucleases are organized into multi-gene families, and each member is thought to have a specific function. In this

Sinorhizobium meliloti RNase III: Catalytic Features and Impact on Symbiosis
Members of the ribonuclease (RNase) III family of enzymes are metal-dependent double-strand specific endoribonucleases. They are ubiquitously found and eukaryotic RNase III-like enzymes include Dicer and Drosha, involved in RNA processing and RNA ...

Control of expression of the RNases J1 and J2 in bacillus subtilis [PDF]
In Bacillus subtilis, the dual activity 5' exo- and endoribonucleases J1 and J2 are important players in mRNA and stable RNA maturation and degradation. Recent work has improved our understanding of their structure and mechanism of action and identified ...

Drosophila CG3303 is an essential endoribonuclease linked to TDP-43-mediated neurodegeneration [PDF]
Endoribonucleases participate in almost every step of eukaryotic RNA metabolism, acting either as degradative or biosynthetic enzymes. We previously identified the founding member of the Eukaryotic EndoU ribonuclease family, whose components display ...

Substrate specificity of bacterial endoribonuclease toxins
Bacterial endoribonuclease toxins belong to a protein family that inhibits bacterial growth by degrading mRNA or rRNA sequences. The toxin genes are organized in pairs with its cognate antitoxins in the chromosome and thus the activities of the toxins are antagonized by antitoxin proteins or RNAs during active translation.
