FLORA: a novel method to predict protein function from structure in diverse superfamilies [PDF]
Predicting protein function from structure remains an active area of interest, particularly for the structural genomics initiatives where a substantial number of structures are initially solved with little or no functional characterisation.

Defense strategies against sweet potato chlorotic stunt and pakakuy virus coinfection unraveled
Abstract This study into the response of two Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam cultivars, Melinda and Tio Joe, to coinfection with sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV) and sweet potato pakakuy virus (SPPV), employed a comprehensive approach encompassing symptomatology, real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, metagenomics, and transcriptomics ...

The identity of the discriminator base has an impact on CCA addition [PDF]
CCA-adding enzymes synthesize and maintain the C-C-A sequence at the tRNA 3''-end, generating the attachment site for amino acids. While tRNAs are the most prominent substrates for this polymerase, CCA additions on non-tRNA transcripts are described as ...

A comparative analysis of two conserved motifs in bacterial poly(A) polymerase and CCA-adding enzyme [PDF]
Showing a high sequence similarity, the evolutionary closely related bacterial poly(A) polymerases (PAP) and CCA-adding enzymes catalyze quite different reactions—PAP adds poly(A) tails to RNA 3′-ends, while CCA-adding enzymes synthesize the sequence CCA

The emerging role of mtDNA release in sepsis: Current evidence and potential therapeutic targets
Abstract Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory reaction caused by infection, and severe sepsis can develop into septic shock, eventually leading to multiorgan dysfunction and even death. In recent years, studies have shown that mitochondrial damage is closely related to the occurrence and development of sepsis.

Biotechnological production of cyclic dinucleotides - challenges and opportunities [PDF]
Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) are widely used secondary signaling molecules in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. As strong agonists of the stimulator of interferon genes, they are of great interest for pharmaceutical applications. In particular, cyclic-GMP-

The NF45/NF90 Heterodimer Contributes to the Biogenesis of 60S Ribosomal Subunits and Influences Nucleolar Morphology [PDF]
The interleukin enhancer binding factors ILF2 (NF45) and ILF3 (NF90/NF110) have been implicated in various cellular pathways, such as transcription, microRNA (miRNA) processing, DNA repair, and translation, in mammalian cells.
