Pioneering role of RNA in the early evolution of life. [PDF]
The catalytic, regulatory and structural properties of RNA, combined with their extraordinary ubiquity in cellular processes, are consistent with the proposal that this molecule played a much more conspicuous role in heredity and metabolism during the ...

Improving the Ribozyme Toolbox: From Structure-Function Insights to Synthetic Biology Applications [PDF]
Self-cleaving ribozymes are a naturally occurring class of catalytically active RNA molecules which cleave their own phosphate backbone. In nature, self-cleaving ribozymes are best known for their role in processing concatamers of viral genomes into ...

Intronic hammerhead ribozymes in mRNA biogenesis [PDF]
[EN] Small self-cleaving ribozymes are a group of natural RNAs that are capable of catalyzing their own and sequence-specific endonucleolytic cleavage.

Controlling Gene Expression in Mammalian Cells Using Multiplexed Conditional Guide RNAs for Cas12a
Spatiotemporal control of the activity of Cas proteins is of considerable interest for both basic research and therapeutics. Only few mechanisms have been demonstrated for regulating the activity of guide RNAs (gRNAs) for Cas12a in mammalian cells ...

Identification of an hepatitis delta virus-like ribozyme at the mRNA 5′-end of the L1Tc retrotransposon from Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]
L1Tc is a non-LTR LINE element from Trypanosoma cruzi that encodes its transposition machinery and bears an internal promoter. Herewith, we report the identification of an in vitro active hepatitis delta virus-like ribozyme located in the first 77 nt at ...

Design of Mammalian ON-Riboswitches Based on Tandemly Fused Aptamer and Ribozyme.
Self-cleaving ribozymes engineered to be activated or inhibited by a small molecule binding to an RNA aptamer inserted within a ribozyme (aptazymes) have proven to be useful for controlling gene expression in living cells. In mammalian cells, an aptazyme

CPEB3 regulates neuron-specific alternative splicing and involves neurogenesis gene expression
In the mammalian brain, alternative pre-mRNA splicing is a fundamental mechanism that modifies neuronal function dynamically where secretion of different splice variants regulates neurogenesis, development, pathfinding, maintenance, migration, and ...

Evaluating Performance of Different RNA Secondary Structure Prediction Programs Using Self-cleaving Ribozymes [PDF]
Accurate identification of the correct, biologically relevant RNA structures is critical to understanding various aspects of RNA biology since proper folding represents the key to the functionality of all types of RNA molecules and plays pivotal roles in
