Genome‐Wide In Silico Analysis of the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) Within the Morganella Genus
▪ Species‐specific T6SS patterns among Morganella genus (M. morganii and M. sibonii). ▪ Only one‐third of M. morganii isolates haboured a T6SS. ▪ All M. sibonii possess four T6SS clusters. ▪ M. sibonii exhibited a wide diversity of effectors compared to M. morganii.

RNA Recognition and Cleavage by the SARS Coronavirus Endoribonuclease
The emerging disease SARS is caused by a novel coronavirus that encodes several unusual RNA-processing enzymes, including non-structural protein 15 (Nsp15), a hexameric endoribonuclease that preferentially cleaves at uridine residues. How Nsp15 recognizes and cleaves RNA is not well understood and is the subject of this study.

Immune Evasion of Helicobacter pylori and Extra‐Gastric Cancer Risk
ABSTRACT Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a group 1 gastric carcinogen that plays a significant role in extra‐gastric digestive system cancers. H. pylori disrupts host cell homeostasis through expression of virulence factors leading to immune evasion as well as persistent gastric mucosal colonization. H. pylori infection has been shown to play a role

Structural basis for human mitochondrial tRNA maturation
The human mitochondrial genome is transcribed into two RNAs, containing mRNAs, rRNAs and tRNAs, all dedicated to produce essential proteins of the respiratory chain. The precise excision of tRNAs by the mitochondrial endoribonucleases (mt-RNase), P and Z,

Restoring Iron Homeostasis via Smoothened Inhibition: A Novel Strategy Against Hearing Loss
. ABSTRACT Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) induced by noise or aminoglycoside antibiotics is a significant public health concern without any FDA‐approved pharmaceutical therapies. Dysregulation of iron homeostasis and its subsequently induced ferroptosis has increasingly been identified as a key mechanism underlying cochlear hair cell (HC) damage ...

Removal of RNA/DNA hybrids for the maturation of Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand, or due to misincorporation of ribonucleotides by DNA polymerases, is essential for all types of cells. In prokaryotic cells such as Escherichia coli, DNA polymerase

Towards new antituberculotic targets: biochemical characterisation of mycobacterial RNase E/G
The World Health Organization estimates that each year 3 million people die from tuberculosis (TB) and 8 million people become infected. No new anti-TB drugs have been introduced in the past 30 years, even though their development becomes increasingly ...

Metal ions govern coronavirus endoribonuclease activity
Abstract Coronavirus nonstructural protein 15 (nsp15) is an endoribonuclease that restricts viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) accumulation in the cytosol to evade host immunity. Given the co-localization of nsp15 and replicating viral RNA, the mechanism controlling nsp15 activity is essential, yet poorly understood.
