Composition and conservation of the mRNA-degrading machinery in bacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
RNA synthesis and decay counteract each other and therefore inversely regulate gene expression in pro- and eukaryotic cells by controlling the steady-state level of individual transcripts.

miRNAs as Influencers of Cell-Cell Communication in Tumor Microenvironment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level, inducing the degradation of the target mRNA or translational repression.

Pyrazinoic Acid Inhibits the Bifunctional Enzyme (Rv2783) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Competing with tmRNA

open access: yesPathogens, 2019
Pyrazinamide (PZA) is a key drug for tuberculosis treatment. The active form of PZA, pyrazinoic acid (POA), appears to inhibit multiple targets in M. tuberculosis. Recently, the bifunctional enzyme Rv2783 was reported as a new target of POA. However, the

Localization of Components of the RNA-Degrading Machine in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In bacteria, the control of mRNA stability is crucial to allow rapid adaptation to changing conditions. In most bacteria, RNA degradation is catalyzed by the RNA degradosome, a protein complex composed of endo- and exoribonucleases, RNA helicases and ...

Identification of Genes Potentially Regulated by Human Polynucleotide Phosphorylase (hPNPaseold-35) Using Melanoma as a Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Human Polynucleotide Phosphorylase (hPNPaseold-35 or PNPT1) is an evolutionarily conserved 3′→5′ exoribonuclease implicated in the regulation of numerous physiological processes including maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis, mtRNA import and aging ...

The exoribonuclease Polynucleotide Phosphorylase influences the virulence and stress responses of yersiniae and many other pathogens

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
Microbes are incessantly challenged by both biotic and abiotic stressors threatening their existence. Therefore, bacterial pathogens must possess mechanisms to successfully subvert host immune defenses as well as overcome the stress associated with host ...

Systematic analysis of plant mitochondrial and chloroplast small RNAs suggests organelle-specific mRNA stabilization mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Land plant organellar genomes encode a small number of genes, many of which are essential for respiration and photosynthesis. Organellar gene expression is characterized by a multitude of RNA processing events that lead to stable, translatable ...

Modulation of Neurogenesis through the Promotion of Energy Production Activity Is behind the Antidepressant-Like Effect of Colonial Green Alga, Botryococcus braunii [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Algae have been recognized as important resources providing functional components due to their capacity to exert beneficial effects on health. Therefore, there is increasing interest in investigating the biological activity of algae.

Skeletal Muscle Mitochondria Contain Nuclear‐Encoded RNA Species Prior to and Following Adaptation to Exercise Training in Rats

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 13, 15 July 2025.
Here, we report that mitochondria from rat skeletal muscle contain a select population of nuclear‐encoded protein‐coding and noncoding RNAs, including 3 microRNAs whose expression tended to be altered by exercise training. These findings suggest that mitochondria‐localized nuclear‐encoded RNAs may play a role in mediating the beneficial adaptive ...

C21orf57 is a human homologue of bacterial YbeY proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The product of the human C21orf57 (huYBEY) gene is predicted to be a homologue of the highly conserved YbeY proteins found in nearly all bacteria. We show that, like its bacterial and chloroplast counterparts, the HuYbeY protein is an RNase and that it ...
