Ribonucleases as potential therapeutic agents [PDF]

open access: yesمجله بیوتکنولوژی کشاورزی, 2021
Objective Due to high cytotoxicity effect, ribonucleases (RNases) are known as pharmacological agents with therapeutic potential. The high potential of these enzymes in the destruction of RNA strand and their other substrates and subsequently, cell ...

Identification of Crucial Amino Acid Residues for Antimicrobial Activity of Angiogenin 4 and Its Modulation of Gut Microbiota in Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Angiogenin 4 bearing ribonuclease activity is an endogenous antimicrobial protein expressed in small and large intestine. However, the crucial amino acid residues responsible for the antibacterial activity of Ang4 and its impact on gut microbiota remain ...

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.

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,

Mammalian mitochondrial RNAs are degraded in the mitochondrial intermembrane space by RNASET2

open access: yesProtein & Cell, 2017
Mammalian mitochondrial genome encodes a small set of tRNAs, rRNAs, and mRNAs. The RNA synthesis process has been well characterized. How the RNAs are degraded, however, is poorly understood. It was long assumed that the degradation happens in the matrix

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 ...

Human and mouse angiogenins: Emerging insights and potential opportunities

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Angiogenin, a well-known angiogenic factor, is crucial to the angiogenesis in gastrointestinal tumors. Human angiogenin has only one gene, whereas the murine angiogenin family has extended to incorporate six genes.

Effect of osmotic stress on in vitro translational capacity of polysomes and on the composition of polysome-associated proteins in germinating seeds of pea (Pisum sativum L.)

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2012
Plant growth throughout the world is often limited by unfavourable environmental conditions. This paper reports results of a study on long- and short-term osmotic stress (−0.5 MPa) followed by a recovery on in vitro translational capacity of polysomes ...

The Selectivity for Tumor Cells of Nuclear-Directed Cytotoxic RNases Is Mediated by the Nuclear/Cytoplasmic Distribution of p27KIP1

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Although single targeted anti-cancer drugs are envisaged as safer treatments because they do not affect normal cells, cancer is a very complex disease to be eradicated with a single targeted drug. Alternatively, multi-targeted drugs may be more effective

Ribonuclease (RNase) Prolongs Survival of Grafts in Experimental Heart Transplantation

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundCell damage, tissue and vascular injury are associated with the exposure and release of intracellular components such as RNA, which promote inflammatory reactions and thrombosis. Based on the counteracting anti‐inflammatory and cardioprotective
