This review focuses on DNA and RNA vaccines whose potential use was first considered at the end of the 20th century. However, not a single bacterial plasmid-based or mRNA vaccine has been used since that time in public healthcare for the prevention of ...

Ribose 2′-O-methylation provides a molecular signature for the distinction of self and non-self mRNA dependent on the RNA sensor Mda5 [PDF]
The 5'-cap-structures of higher eukaryote mRNAs are ribose 2'-O-methylated. Likewise, a number of viruses replicating in the cytoplasm of eukayotes have evolved 2'-O-methyltransferases to modify autonomously their mRNAs.

Eukaryotic mRNA with its 5′-cap is of central importance for the cell. Many studies involving mRNA require reliable preparation and modification of 5′-capped RNAs. Depending on the length of the desired capped RNA, chemical or enzymatic preparation – or a combination of both – can be advantageous.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

A workflow to define structural classes and classify nucleic acids circular dichroism spectra
Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is a widely utilized technique for studying the structures of chiral molecules, including nucleic acids. It is particularly valued for its ability to quickly probe structural changes in these biomolecules. Despite its

tRNA ligase structure reveals kinetic competition between non-conventional mRNA splicing and mRNA decay. [PDF]
Yeast tRNA ligase (Trl1) is an essential trifunctional enzyme that catalyzes exon-exon ligation during tRNA biogenesis and the non-conventional splicing of HAC1 mRNA during the unfolded protein response (UPR).

We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Genomic structure and expression of the porcine ACTC1 gene
A partial cDNA (~1200 bp) of the porcine ACTC1 gene was identified in the subtracted foetal hind limb muscle cDNA library (44 days of gestation; using m. biceps femoris cDNA as the driver).

RNA-Binding protein HuR and the members of miR-200 family play an unconventional role in the regulation of c-Jun mRNA [PDF]
Post-transcriptional gene regulation is a fundamental step for coordinating cellular response in a variety of processes. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are the most important factors responsible for this regulation.
