Role of Dicer-Dependent RNA Interference in Regulating Mycoparasitic Interactions
Microbiology Spectrum, 2021 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 ...

Global regulatory functions of the Staphylococcus aureus endoribonuclease III in gene expression. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 RNA turnover plays an important role in both virulence and adaptation to stress in the Gram-positive human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. However, the molecular players and mechanisms involved in these processes are poorly understood.

Substrate specificity of bacterial endoribonuclease toxins
BMB Reports, 2020 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.

The Continuing Story of Endoribonuclease III
Microbial Physiology, 2004 Endoribonuclease III (RNase III) plays an important role in the processing of rRNA and mRNAs. It is timely to summarize the most relevant insights obtained during the last years stemming from RNase III. With this aim, the present mini-review provides a wealth of new information focusing on the distribution and architecture of RNase III, substrate ...

Towards identifying New Human Ribonucleases that Cleave microRNA Using a High-Throughput Method. [PDF]
, 2012 Endoribonucleases were once thought of as only being key enzymes responsible for the degradation of prokaryotic mRNAs. They are now believed to play critical role in initiating eukaryotic/mammalian RNA decay and hence RNA abundance.

Novel specificity of an endoribonuclease of yeast [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1986 Investigations of the cleavage specificity of a cyclizing endoribonuclease of yeast show that it hydrolyzes Y‐A bonds of single‐stranded regions of RNA and that oligonucleotides are hydrolyzed poorly. The stringent specificity of the enzyme suggests that it may be useful for generating specific fragments of polyribonucleotides.

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).

A high-resolution view of RNA endonuclease cleavage in Bacillus subtilis. [PDF]
Nucleic Acids ResRNA endonucleases are the rate-limiting initiator of decay for many bacterial mRNAs. However, the positions of cleavage and their sequence determinants remain elusive even for the well-studied Bacillus subtilis.
