Reversible and irreversible inhibitors of coronavirus Nsp15 endoribonuclease

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2023
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 ...

The roles of rice microRNAs in rice-Magnaporthe oryzae interaction

Phytopathology Research, 2019
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small (20–24 nucleotides (nt) long) non-coding RNAs. One mature miRNA can be transcribed from one or more gene loci known as miRNA genes (MIRs).

Non‐Targeting shRNA‐Encoded Plasmid DNA Enhances Protective Immunity Through RIDD‐RIG‐I Signaling Pathway in the Zika Virus Animal Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a novel DNA vaccine platform featuring intrinsic, non‐targeting dsRNA that significantly enhances immune responses by activating the regulated IRE1‐dependent decay‐RIG‐I signaling pathway. This research elucidates a previously uncharacterized mechanism for dsRNA‐mediated innate immune activation.

Mouse ribonuclease III. cDNA structure, expression analysis, and chromosomal location

BMC Genomics, 2002
Background Members of the ribonuclease III superfamily of double-stranded(ds)-RNA-specific endoribonucleases participate in diverse RNA maturation and decay pathways in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. A human RNase III orthologue has been implicated in

Nanozymes for Liver Disease Therapy: Advances in Catalytic Activity, Targeting Strategies, and Clinical Translation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanozymes, as enzyme‐mimicking nanomaterials, exhibit unique catalytic properties for the treatment of liver diseases. By regulating redox homeostasis, modulating immune responses, and enabling targeted delivery, nanozymes overcome the limitations of natural enzymes.

Transforming RNA Degradation into Accurate RNA Detection: RNase I–Assisted Rolling Circle Amplification for Clinical Samples

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 9, 23 February 2026.
Here, we transform this otherwise destructive enzymatic activity into a powerful diagnostic advantage through an RNase I–assisted rolling circle amplification (RI‐RCA) strategy. By integrating controlled RNase I–mediated RNA digestion with circular DNA templates, this approach enables direct and highly sensitive detection of target RNA sequences. Using

Detection of a fourth orbivirus non-structural protein.

PLoS ONE, 2011
The genus Orbivirus includes both insect and tick-borne viruses. The orbivirus genome, composed of 10 segments of dsRNA, encodes 7 structural proteins (VP1-VP7) and 3 non-structural proteins (NS1-NS3).

Targeting GRP78 and the Proteostasis Network to Break the Therapeutic Ceiling in Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT HSPA5 (also known as GRP78/BiP) is a master regulator of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response and a key node in the proteostasis network. In neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), an aggressive, therapy‐refractory lineage that emerges under pressure from androgen receptor (AR) directed therapies, GRP78 is upregulated and co‐opted to ...

Phylogenetic Analysis of the Endoribonuclease Dicer Family

PLoS ONE, 2014
Dicers are proteins of the ribonuclease III family with the ability to process dsRNA, involved in regulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Dicers are conserved from basal metazoans to higher metazoans and contain a number of functional domains that interact with dsRNA.

Inhibition of Targeted Bacterial Growth Using MazF‐Expressing Phagemids: A Novel Therapeutic Approach Based on Endoribonuclease Toxin Molecules

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The extensive and indiscriminate use of antibiotics, which are intended to halt bacterial growth or eliminate them, has unintentionally given rise to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is a critical threat to global health. In the pursuit of alternative solutions, researchers have focused on type II toxin–antitoxin systems prevalent within ...
