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).

CRISPR RNA maturation by trans-encoded small RNA and host factor RNase III
Nature, 2011 CRISPR/Cas systems constitute a widespread class of immunity systems that protect bacteria and archaea against phages and plasmids, and commonly use repeat/spacer-derived short crRNAs to silence foreign nucleic acids in a sequence-specific manner ...

Emerging biological functions of ribonuclease 1 and angiogenin
Critical reviews in biochemistry and molecular biology, 2021 Pancreatic-type ribonucleases (ptRNases) are a large family of vertebrate-specific secretory endoribonucleases. These enzymes catalyze the degradation of many RNA substrates and thereby mediate a variety of biological functions.

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

The Tumor Marker Human Placental Protein 11 Is an Endoribonuclease [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2008 Human PP11 (placental protein 11) was previously described as a serine protease specifically expressed in the syncytiotrophoblast and in numerous tumor tissues. Several PP11-like proteins were annotated in distantly related organisms, such as worms and mammals, suggesting their involvement in evolutionarily conserved processes.

Structure, Evolution, and Functions of Bacterial Type III Toxin-Antitoxin Systems. [PDF]
, 2016 Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are small genetic modules that encode a toxin (that targets an essential cellular process) and an antitoxin that neutralises or suppresses the deleterious effect of the toxin.

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).

New insights into control of arbovirus replication and spread by insect RNA interference pathways [PDF]
, 2012 Arthropod-borne (arbo) viruses are transmitted by vectors, such as mosquitoes, to susceptible vertebrates. Recent research has shown that arbovirus replication and spread in mosquitoes is not passively tolerated but induces host responses to control ...

A Chromosome Inversion Creates a Supergene for Sex and Colour in Lake Malawi Cichlids
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cichlid fishes have the highest rates of evolutionary turnover of sex chromosomes among vertebrates. Many large structural polymorphisms in the radiation of cichlids in Lake Malawi are associated with sex chromosomes and may also carry adaptive variation.
