Programmed genome editing of the omega-1 ribonuclease of the blood fluke, Schistosoma mansoni

open access: yeseLife, 2019
CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing has yet to be reported in species of the Platyhelminthes. We tested this approach by targeting omega-1 (ω1) of Schistosoma mansoni as proof of principle.

The Immunomodulatory and Antimicrobial Properties of the Vertebrate Ribonuclease A Superfamily

open access: yesVaccines, 2018
The Ribonuclease A Superfamily is composed of cationic peptides that are secreted by immune cells and epithelial tissues. Although their physiological roles are unclear, several members of the vertebrate Ribonuclease A Superfamily demonstrate ...

Targeting the SARS-CoV-2 RNA Genome with Small Molecule Binders and Ribonuclease Targeting Chimera (RIBOTAC) Degraders

open access: yesACS Central Science, 2020
COVID-19 is a global pandemic, thus requiring multiple strategies to develop modalities against it. Herein, we designed multiple bioactive small molecules that target a functional structure within the SARS-CoV-2’s RNA genome, the causative agent of COVID-

Structural investigations of proteins encoded by SARS‐CoV‐2

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2022
It is hard to overestimate the influence of the COVID‐19 pandemic on scientific research in the last two and a half years. Within a few weeks after the first cases of the disease were reported, the causative agent, now known as SARS‐CoV‐2, was identified,

Structural–Functional Relationship of the Ribonucleolytic Activity of aIF5A from Sulfolobus solfataricus

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
The translation factor IF5A is a highly conserved protein playing a well-recognized and well-characterized role in protein synthesis; nevertheless, some of its features as well as its abundance in the cell suggest that it may perform additional functions

Activation and self-inactivation mechanisms of the cyclic oligoadenylate-dependent CRISPR ribonuclease Csm6

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Bacterial and archaeal CRISPR-Cas systems provide RNA-guided immunity against genetic invaders such as bacteriophages and plasmids. Upon target RNA recognition, type III CRISPR-Cas systems produce cyclic-oligoadenylate second messengers that activate ...

RNase Y Autoregulates Its Synthesis in Bacillus subtilis

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
The instability of messenger RNA is crucial to the control of gene expression. In Bacillus subtilis, RNase Y is the major decay-initiating endoribonuclease.

The dynamic interplay of host and viral enzymes in type III CRISPR-mediated cyclic nucleotide signalling

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Cyclic nucleotide second messengers are increasingly implicated in prokaryotic anti-viral defence systems. Type III CRISPR systems synthesise cyclic oligoadenylate (cOA) upon detecting foreign RNA, activating ancillary nucleases that can be toxic to ...
