Synthesis of 5’ end-labeled RNA
5’ end-labeled RNA molecules are useful substrates to analyse the endo- and exonucleolytic activities of various ribonucleases. Here two protocols are given to synthesize P32 labeled RNAs with a 5’ PPP or 5’ P moiety. 5’ exoribonucleases generally do not

Background Exoribonucleases are crucial for RNA degradation in Escherichia coli but the roles of RNase R and PNPase and their potential overlap in stationary phase are not well characterized.

Summary: Cell-based studies of human ribonucleases traditionally rely on methods that deplete proteins slowly. We engineered cells in which the 3′→5′ exoribonucleases of the exosome complex, DIS3 and EXOSC10, can be rapidly eliminated to assess their ...

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 ...

Flaviviruses accumulate abundant subgenomic RNA (sfRNA) in infected cells. It has been reported that sfRNA results from stalling of host 5'-to-3' exoribonuclease XRN1 at the highly structured RNA of the 3' untranslated region (UTR).

RNase J1 and J2 Are Host-Encoded Factors for Plasmid Replication
Plasmids need to ensure their transmission to both daughter-cells when their host divides, but should at the same time avoid overtaxing their hosts by directing excessive host-resources toward production of plasmid factors.

Polyadenylation is a post-transcriptional modification of RNA occurring in prokaryotes, eukaryotes and organelles. However, the function and extent of bacterial polyadenylation are in marked contrast to those of eukaryotic poly(A) tails.

Composition and function of P bodies in Arabidopsis thaliana
mRNA accumulation is tightly regulated by diverse molecular pathways. The identification and characterization of enzymes and regulatory proteins involved in controlling the fate of mRNA offers the possibility to broaden our understanding of ...

Modulating the RNA processing and decay by the exosome: altering Rrp44/Dis3 activity and end-product. [PDF]
In eukaryotes, the exosome plays a central role in RNA maturation, turnover, and quality control. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the core exosome is composed of nine catalytically inactive subunits constituting a ring structure and the active nuclease ...

Background NOL12 5′-3′ exoribonucleases, conserved among eukaryotes, play important roles in pre-rRNA processing, ribosome assembly and export. The most well-described yeast counterpart, Rrp17, is required for maturation of 5.8 and 25S rRNAs, whereas ...
