The Pseudomonas aeruginosa ribonuclease Ribocin cleaves eukaryotic ribosomes at helix 69 to inhibit host translation. [PDF]
Pseudomonas aeruginosa employs host translation inhibition as a virulence-enhancing strategy. We previously showed that the bacterium induces cleavage of Caenorhabditis elegans large ribosomal RNA at helix 69 (H69), part of a central intersubunit bridge ...

The Ribonuclease P Database [PDF]
Ribonuclease P is responsible for the 5'-maturation of tRNA precursors. Ribonuclease P is a ribonucleoprotein, and in bacteria (and some Archaea) the RNA subunit alone is catalytically active in vitro, i.e. it is a ribozyme. The Ribonuclease P Database is a compilation of ribonuclease P sequences, sequence alignments, secondary structures, three ...

The modular structural domains of multidomain RNA enzymes can often be dissected into separate domain RNAs and their noncovalent assembly can often reconstitute active enzymes.

Background Expression systems based on self-cleavable intein domains allow the generation of recombinant proteins with a C-terminal thioester. This uniquely reactive C-terminus can be used in native chemical ligation reactions to introduce synthetic ...

Inhibition of Ribonuclease P Activity by Retinoids [PDF]
The effect of two naturally occurring (retinol and all-trans retinoic acid) and two synthetic (isotretinoin and acitretin) analogs of vitamin A (retinoids) on tRNA biogenesis was investigated employing the RNase P of Dictyostelium discoideum as an in vitro experimental system.

Rege-1 promotes C. elegans survival by modulating IIS and TOR pathways.
Metabolic pathways are known to sense the environmental stimuli and result in physiological adjustments. The responding processes need to be tightly controlled. Here, we show that upon encountering P. aeruginosa, C.

Kaposi’s sarcoma, an AIDS-defining illness, is caused by Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), an oncogenic virus. In this study, we engineered ribozymes derived from ribonuclease P (RNase P) catalytic RNA with targeting against the mRNA ...

Ribonuclease P (RNase P) is a class of enzymes involved in the processing of precursor tRNAs to remove their 5'-leader sequences. Ribonuclease P enzymes are classified into two completely distinct classes, i.e.

A Novel Method to Isolate RNase MRP Using RNA Streptavidin Aptamer Tags
Interactions between RNA-binding proteins and RNA molecules are at the center of multiple biological processes. Therefore, accurate characterization of the composition of ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs) is crucial.

Comparative analysis of ribonuclease P RNA of the planctomycetes [PDF]
The planctomycetes, order Planctomycetales, are a distinct phylum of domain Bacteria. Genes encoding the RNA portion of ribonuclease P (RNase P) of some planctomycete members were sequenced and compared with existing database planctomycete sequences.
