Factors determining chromosomal localization of transposable elements in plants

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
We review transposon chromosomal niches, and the functional consequences of their specific chromosomal localization in plants. Abstract Transposable elements (TEs) constitute a significant part of plant genomes and shape their genomic landscape. While some TEs are ubiquitously dispersed, other elements specifically occupy discrete genomic loci.

Meeting review : ESF workshop on "Impact of nucleic acid chemistry on gene function analysis: antisense, aptamers, ribozymes and RNAi" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The shortage of functional information compared to the abundance of sequence information characterizes today’s situation in functional genomics. For many years the knock-down of a gene’s product has been the most powerful way of analysing its function ...

Ground-state coordination of a catalytic metal to the scissile phosphate of a tertiary-stabilized Hammerhead ribozyme.

open access: yesRNA: A publication of the RNA Society, 2012
Although the Hammerhead ribozyme (HHRz) has long been used as a model system in the field of ribozyme enzymology, several details of its mechanism are still not well understood.

Computational De Novo Design of Group II Introns Yields Highly Active Ribozymes

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 14, July 18, 2025.
Group II Introns (G2Is) are large self‐splicing ribozymes with promising biotechnological applications. This study utilized RNA inverse folding to design three novel G2Is. The designed intron Arq.I2, an unexpectedly proficient ribozyme, self‐splices not only in vitro, but also in Escherichia coli cells.

The Structure, Function and Application of the Hammerhead Ribozyme [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1997
The hammerhead ribozyme is one of the smallest ribozymes known and catalyses the site‐specific hydrolysis of a phosphodiester bond. This small ribozyme is of interest for two reasons. It offers a convenient system to study the structure/function relationship of a nucleotide sequence, and is a potential vehicle for the inhibition of gene expression. The

Lipid vesicles chaperone an encapsulated RNA aptamer. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The organization of molecules into cells is believed to have been critical for the emergence of living systems. Early protocells likely consisted of RNA functioning inside vesicles made of simple lipids.

Selective Nonenzymatic Formation of Biologically Common RNA Hairpins

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 5, January 27, 2025.
Template‐free RNA loop‐closing ligation selectively generates RNA tetraloops that are prevalent in biology, as demonstrated by high‐throughput sequencing. Utilizing high‐yield overhang sequences enables the efficient assembly of functional RNAs. Abstract The prebiotic formation of RNA building blocks is well‐supported experimentally, yet the emergence ...

A comparative survey of the influence of small self-cleaving ribozymes on gene expression in human cell culture

open access: yesRNA Biology
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 ...
