KnotInFrame: prediction of −1 ribosomal frameshift events [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2008
Programmed -1 ribosomal frameshift (-1 PRF) allows for alternative reading frames within one mRNA. First found in several viruses, it is now believed to exist in all kingdoms of life. Strong stimulators for -1 PRF are a heptameric slippery site and an RNA pseudoknot.

The energy landscape of −1 ribosomal frameshifting [PDF]

open access: yesScience Advances, 2020
During translation, the presence of an mRNA structure prolongs a ribosomal state favorable to spontaneous frameshifting.

Structural dynamics of single SARS-CoV-2 pseudoknot molecules reveal topologically distinct conformers

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
The RNA pseudoknot of SARS-CoV-2 promotes -1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting. Here the authors use single molecule force spectroscopy to study the folding of this pseudoknot, showing that it forms at least two different pseudoknot conformers with ...

A Novel Frameshifting Inhibitor Having Antiviral Activity against Zoonotic Coronaviruses

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Recent outbreaks of zoonotic coronaviruses, such as Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), have caused tremendous casualties and great economic shock.

Monovalent ions modulate the flux through multiple folding pathways of an RNA pseudoknot [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The functions of RNA pseudoknots (PKs), which are minimal tertiary structural motifs and an integral part of several ribozymes and ribonucleoprotein complexes, are determined by their structure, stability and dynamics.

HCV IRES manipulates the ribosome to promote the switch from translation initiation to elongation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The internal ribosome entry site (IRES) of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) drives noncanonical initiation of protein synthesis necessary for viral replication.

Structural and molecular basis for Cardiovirus 2A protein as a viral gene expression switch

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Many RNA viruses employ programmed –1 ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) to expand their coding capacity and optimize production of viral proteins. Here, the authors report structural and biophysical analysis of protein 2A from a cardiovirus, with insights ...

Programmable modulation of ribosomal frameshifting by mRNA targeting CRISPR-Cas12a system

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: Minus 1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting (−1 PRF) is a conserved translational regulation event essential for critical biological processes, including the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication.

Modulation of Viral Programmed Ribosomal Frameshifting and Stop Codon Readthrough by the Host Restriction Factor Shiftless

open access: yesViruses, 2021
The product of the interferon-stimulated gene C19orf66, Shiftless (SHFL), restricts human immunodeficiency virus replication through downregulation of the efficiency of the viral gag/pol frameshifting signal.
