Cap-Independent Circular mRNA Translation Efficiency
Recently, the mRNA platform has become the method of choice in vaccine development to find new ways to fight infectious diseases. However, this approach has shortcomings, namely that mRNA vaccines require special storage conditions, which makes them less

Bacterial RNA degradation is typically initiated by endoribonucleases and followed by exoribonucleases. Here the authors report the targetome of endoRNase Y in Streptococcus pyogenes, revealing the interplay between RNase Y and 3′-to-5′ exoribonuclease ...

The Bacillus subtilis genome encodes four 3′ exoribonucleases: polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase), RNase R, RNase PH, and YhaM. Previous work showed that PNPase, encoded by the pnpA gene, is the major 3′ exonuclease involved in mRNA turnover; in a ...

A 212-nt long RNA structure in the Tobacco necrosis virus-D RNA genome is resistant to Xrn degradation [PDF]
Plus-strand RNA viruses can accumulate viral RNA degradation products during infections. Some of these decay intermediates are generated by the cytosolic 5′-to-3′ exoribonuclease Xrn1 (mammals and yeast) or Xrn4 (plants) and are formed when the enzyme ...

Immunosuppressive arenaviral exoribonuclease
Arenaviruses cause up to 500,000 zoonotic infections per year in endemic areas of Africa and South America and can lead to severe and lethal hemorrhagic fever (HF) symptoms [1]. Currently, there is no specific antiviral drug or vaccine available for the treatment of these infections, with the exception of the Candid #1 vaccine that has successfully ...

Target RNAs strike back on MicroRNAs [PDF]
MicroRNAs are extensively studied regulatory non-coding small RNAs that silence animal genes throughout most biological processes, typically doing so by binding to partially complementary sequences within target RNAs.

The XRN family of 5′-3′ Exoribonucleases is functionally conserved in eukaryotic organisms. However, the molecular evolution of XRN proteins in plants and their functions in plant response to environment stresses remain largely unexplored. In this study,
