A comparative survey of the influence of small self-cleaving ribozymes on gene expression in human cell culture [PDF]
Self-cleaving ribozymes are versatile tools for synthetic biologists when it comes to controlling gene expression. Up to date, 12 different classes are known, and over the past decades more and more details about their structure, cleavage mechanisms and ...

Functional Domain-Assembly in Hairpin Ribozymes [PDF]
Functional structures of hairpin ribozymes have been investigated by constructing various chemically modified molecules. Domain-exchange and linker insertion experiments were performed to find active conformations of the RNA enzyme showing cleavage activity.

Intracellular Immunization against SIVmacUtilizing a Hairpin Ribozyme
A hairpin ribozyme targeting the 3' LTR region (9456) of SIVmac238 was cloned into a murine retroviral vector. This target sequence is conserved among various SIV, as well as most HIV-2, strains. The ribozyme cassette is driven from a polymerase III promoter, that of the human tRNAval gene.

Nucleobase catalysis in the hairpin ribozyme [PDF]
RNA catalysis is important in the processing and translation of RNA molecules, yet the mechanisms of catalysis are still unclear in most cases. We have studied the role of nucleobase catalysis in the hairpin ribozyme, where the scissile phosphate is juxtaposed between guanine and adenine bases.

Dual Promoters Improve the Rescue of Recombinant Measles Virus in Human Cells
Reverse genetics is a technology that allows the production of a virus from its complementary DNA (cDNA). It is a powerful tool for analyzing viral genes, the development of novel vaccines, and gene delivery vectors.

Critical domain interactions for type A RNase P RNA catalysis with and without the specificity domain. [PDF]
The natural trans-acting ribozyme RNase P RNA (RPR) is composed of two domains in which the catalytic (C-) domain mediates cleavage of various substrates. The C-domain alone, after removal of the second specificity (S-) domain, catalyzes this reaction as
