Possible role of human ribonuclease dicer in the regulation of R loops
R loops play an important role in regulating key cellular processes such as replication, transcription, centromere stabilization, or control of telomere length. However, the unscheduled accumulation of R loops can cause many diseases, including cancer, and neurodegenerative or inflammatory disorders. Interestingly, accumulating data indicate a possible

Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) occupy an abundant fraction of the eukaryotic transcriptome and an emerging area in cancer research. Regulation by lncRNAs is based on their subcellular localization in HNSCC. This cartoon shows the various functions of lncRNAs in HNSCC discussed in this review.

Use of RNA secondary structure for evolutionary relationships : investigating RNase P and RNase MRP : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Genetics at Massey University, New Zealand [PDF]
Bioinformatics is applied here to examine whether RNA secondary structure data can reflect distant evolutionary relationships. This is important when there is little confidence in sequence data such as when looking at the evolution of RNase MRP (MRP ...

Cellular bases of the RNA metabolism dysfunction in motor neurons of a murine model of spinal muscular atrophy: Role of Cajal bodies and the nucleolus [PDF]
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by a homozygous deletion or mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene that leads to reduced levels of SMN protein resulting in degeneration of motor neurons (MNs).

Cleavable N‐terminal Thioredoxin fusion enabled soluble expression and purification of otherwise insoluble SARS‐CoV‐2 Nucleocapsid (N) protein. A four‐step purification strategy yielded highly homogeneous, RNA‐free N protein. Binding assays showed high RNA affinity (Kd ~ 28 nm). The study will facilitate high‐resolution structural studies of N protein,

Structure of the Ribonucleoprotein of Influenza Virus [PDF]
The ribonucleoprotein (RNP) internal components of influenza virus were separated into distinct size classes by sedimentation in glycerol gradients and examined by electron microscopy by using positive staining with uranyl acetate. The large RNP have a peak in length distribution at 90 to 110 nm, the medium, at 60 to 90 nm, and the small, at 30 to 50 ...

Collaborative Duality of CircGLIS3(2) RNA and Protein in human Wound Repair
CircGLIS3(2), a circRNA transiently upregulated in dermal fibroblasts during acute wound healing, is induced by IL‐1α and TGF‐β. Its RNA activates fibroblasts into matrix‐secreting cells, while its encoded protein enhances proliferation. The RNA stabilizes PCOLCE, and the protein interacts with BTF3, collectively accelerating wound repair. Abstract The
