Identification and structural investigation of potential novel drug candidates against lethal human pathogen

open access: yesPakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2021
Neisseria meningtidis is responsible for causing meningococcal meningitis along with acute septicaemia in human beings. Functional genomics strategies proved cruciality of certain genes/proteins in Neisseria meningitidis pathogenesis.

Phylogenetic analysis of the endoribonuclease Dicer family. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Dicers are proteins of the ribonuclease III family with the ability to process dsRNA, involved in regulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.

Mutational analysis of Aedes aegypti Dicer 2 provides insights into the biogenesis of antiviral exogenous small interfering RNAs.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2022
The exogenous small interfering RNA (exo-siRNA) pathway is a key antiviral mechanism in the Aedes aegypti mosquito, a widely distributed vector of human-pathogenic arboviruses.

Role of metallothionein-III following central nervous system damage

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2003
We evaluated the physiological relevance of metallothionein-III (MT-III) in the central nervous system following damage caused by a focal cryolesion onto the cortex by studying Mt3-null mice.

Purification and Properties of Ribonuclease III from Escherichia coli

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1968
Abstract A nuclease with specificity for double-stranded RNA (RNase III) has been found in extracts of Escherichia coli. It remains within osmotically shocked cells attached to the ribosomes. It sediments with the ribosomes in less than 0.20 m NH4Cl, but is detached at higher concentrations. A purification is described which utilizes this property. The

A stepwise model for double‐stranded RNA processing by ribonuclease III [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, 2007
SummaryRNA interference is mediated by small interfering RNAs produced by members of the ribonuclease III (RNase III) family represented by bacterial RNase III and eukaryotic Rnt1p, Drosha and Dicer. For mechanistic studies, bacterial RNase III has been a valuable model system for the family.

MicroRNAs and essential components of the microRNA processing machinery are not encoded in the genome of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2012
Background MicroRNAs play a vital role in the regulation of gene expression and have been identified in every animal with a sequenced genome examined thus far, except for the placozoan Trichoplax. The genomic repertoires of metazoan microRNAs have become

Ribonuclease III-mediated processing of specific Neisseria meningitidis mRNAs [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 2003
Approx. 2% of the Neisseria meningitidis genome consists of small DNA insertion sequences known as Correia or nemis elements, which feature TIRs (terminal inverted repeats) of 26–27 bp in length. Elements interspersed with coding regions are co-transcribed with flanking genes into mRNAs, processed at double-stranded RNA structures formed by TIRs.

Engineered extracellular vesicles enriched with the miR‐214/199a cluster enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in ovarian cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the miR‐214/199a cluster is associated with recurrence in ovarian cancer. Engineered small extracellular vesicles (m214‐sEVs) elevate miR‐214‐3p/miR‐199a‐5p in tumor cells, suppress β‐catenin, TLR4, and YKT6 signaling, reprogram tumor‐derived sEV cargo, reduce chemoresistance and migration, and enhance carboplatin efficacy and survival in ...

Ultra-high resolution X-ray structure of orthorhombic bovine pancreatic Ribonuclease A at 100K

open access: yesBMC Chemistry, 2023
The crystal structure of orthorhombic Bovine Pancreatic Ribonuclease A has been determined to 0.85 Å resolution using low temperature, 100 K, synchrotron X-ray data collected at 16000 keV (λ = 0.77 Å). This is the first ultra-high-resolution structure of
