Preferential Translation of mRNAs in an mRNA-Dependent Reticulocyte Lysate [PDF]
Messenger RNA competition experiments were performed in an mRNA-dependent reticulocyte lysate using three kinds of mRNA: rabbit globin mRNA, calf eye lens mRNA and RNA of turnip yellow mosaic virus. Our results indicate that at supersaturating concentrations of mRNA preferential translation of certain mRNA species can be observed.

Kaposin-B enhances the PROX1 mRNA stability during lymphatic reprogramming of vascular endothelial cells by Kaposi's sarcoma herpes virus. [PDF]
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is the most common cancer among HIV-positive patients. Histogenetic origin of KS has long been elusive due to a mixed expression of both blood and lymphatic endothelial markers in KS tumor cells.

Going viral − Virus‐targeting nanobodies for research, diagnostics and therapy
The increasing prevalence of viral diseases represents a major threat for global human health. Nanobodies, small binding fragments derived from camelid heavy‐chain antibodies, offer versatile tools for viral research, diagnostics, and antiviral therapy.

On the role of ras and BRF1 in the regulation of ARE-dependent mRNA-turnover [PDF]
Stability of the mRNAs of cytokines, chemokines, growth-factors, protooncogenes and others are regulated via an AU-rich element (ARE) in their 3’ untranslated region (UTR).

Artificial intelligence-driven rational design of ionizable lipids for mRNA delivery
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have proven effective in mRNA delivery, as evidenced by COVID-19 vaccines. Its key ingredient, ionizable lipids, is traditionally optimized by inefficient and costly experimental screening.

Insights into the mRNA Cleavage Mechanism by MazF, an mRNA Interferase [PDF]
MazF is an Escherichia coli toxin that is highly conserved among the prokaryotes and plays an important role in growth regulation. When MazF is induced, protein synthesis is effectively inhibited. However, the mechanism of MazF action has been controversial.

Comparing the paths of Hedgehog release in artificial and natural settings
Hh morphogens require solubilization factors to overcome their tight association with the plasma membrane and signal to distant cells, but the precise functions of these factors are controversial. Here, we use published in vivo observations as the most relevant evidence to test their suggested functions and discuss contradictions and gaps between in ...
