Mitochondrial RNA editing in Trypanoplasma borreli: New tools, new revelations
The kinetoplastids are unicellular flagellates that derive their name from the ‘kinetoplast’, a region within their single mitochondrion harboring its organellar genome of high DNA content, called kinetoplast (k) DNA.

Traffic into silence: endomembranes and post-transcriptional RNA silencing. [PDF]
microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are small RNAs that repress gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in plants and animals. Small RNAs guide Argonaute-containing RNA-induced silencing complexes to target RNAs in a sequence-

DNA editing in DNA/RNA hybrids by adenosine deaminases that act on RNA. [PDF]
Adenosine deaminases that act on RNA (ADARs) carry out adenosine (A) to inosine (I) editing reactions with a known requirement for duplex RNA. Here, we show that ADARs also react with DNA/RNA hybrid duplexes.

Trim25 is an RNA-specific activator of Lin28a/TuT4-mediated uridylation [PDF]
SummaryRNA binding proteins have thousands of cellular RNA targets and often exhibit opposite or passive molecular functions. Lin28a is a conserved RNA binding protein involved in pluripotency and tumorigenesis that was previously shown to trigger TuT4 ...

RNA-Guided RNA Cleavage by a CRISPR RNA-Cas Protein Complex [PDF]
Compelling evidence indicates that the CRISPR-Cas system protects prokaryotes from viruses and other potential genome invaders. This adaptive prokaryotic immune system arises from the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) found in prokaryotic genomes, which harbor short invader-derived sequences, and the CRISPR-associated (

Dynamic interactions within sub-complexes of the H/ACA pseudouridylation guide RNP [PDF]
H/ACA RNP complexes change uridines to pseudouridines in target non-coding RNAs in eukaryotes and archaea. H/ACA RNPs are comprised of a guide RNA and four essential proteins: Cbf5 (pseudouridine synthase), L7Ae, Gar1 and Nop10 in archaea.

A guide to ions and RNA structure [PDF]
RNA folding into stable tertiary structures is remarkably sensitive to the concentrations and types of cations present; an understanding of the physical basis of ion-RNA interactions is therefore a prerequisite for a quantitative accounting of RNA stability.

The Molecular Architecture for RNA-Guided RNA Cleavage by Cas13a [PDF]
Cas13a, a type VI-A CRISPR-Cas RNA-guided RNA ribonuclease, degrades invasive RNAs targeted by CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and has potential applications in RNA technology. To understand how Cas13a is activated to cleave RNA, we have determined the crystal structure of Leptotrichia buccalis (Lbu) Cas13a bound to crRNA and its target RNA, as well as the cryo-EM ...
