Subgenomic flaviviral RNAs (sfRNAs) are produced by pathogenic flaviviruses to counteract the host antiviral response. sfRNAs are products of incomplete degradation of viral RNA by the host exoribonuclease XRN1 which stalls on XRN1-resistant structural ...

Nuclease Activity of the Junín Virus Nucleoprotein C-Terminal Domain
The mammarenavirus Junín (JUNV) is the causative agent of Argentine hemorrhagic fever, a severe disease of public health concern. The most abundant viral protein is the nucleoprotein (NP), a multifunctional, two-domain protein with the primary role as ...

Tissue-specific Salmonella Typhimurium gene expression during persistence in pigs [PDF]
Salmonellosis caused by Salmonella Typhimurium is one of the most important bacterial zoonotic diseases. The bacterium persists in pigs resulting in asymptomatic 'carrier pigs', generating a major source for Salmonella contamination of pork.

Genome-Wide Association Study for Maize Leaf Cuticular Conductance Identifies Candidate Genes Involved in the Regulation of Cuticle Development. [PDF]
The cuticle, a hydrophobic layer of cutin and waxes synthesized by plant epidermal cells, is the major barrier to water loss when stomata are closed at night and under water-limited conditions.

The roles of the exoribonucleases DIS3L2 and XRN1 in disease [PDF]
RNA degradation is a vital post-transcriptional process which ensures that transcripts are maintained at the correct level within the cell. DIS3L2 and XRN1 are conserved exoribonucleases which are critical for the degradation of cytoplasmic RNAs ...

Biochemical Characterization of Exoribonuclease Encoded by SARS Coronavirus [PDF]
The nsp14 protein is an exoribonuclease that is encoded by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV). We have cloned and expressed the nsp14 protein in Escherichia coli, and characterized the nature and the role(s) of the metal ions in the reaction chemistry.
