Beyond seek and destroy: How to generate allelic series using genome editing tools [PDF]
Genome editing tools have greatly facilitated the functional analysis of genes of interest by targeted mutagenesis. Many usable genome editing tools, including different site-specific nucleases and editor databases that allow single-nucleotide ...

In vitro Evolution and Engineering for Improved Ribozyme Polymerase Production [PDF]
According to the "RNA World Hypothesis" the first self replicating molecule formed from the prebiotic chemicals is the ribozyme. A model compartmentalized self replicating system for ribozyme polymerases is designed and used to improve activity,

Processing of insect retrotransposons by self-cleaving ribozymes [PDF]
We show that several classes of insect non-LTR retrotransposons harbor self-cleaving ribozymes of the HDV family at their 5′ termini. In Drosophila the R2 ribozymes exhibit highly differential in vivo expression and robust in vitro activity ...

Selfishness versus functional cooperation in a stochastic protocell model [PDF]
How to design an "evolvable" artificial system capable to increase in complexity? Although Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection obviously offers a firm foundation, little hope of success seems to be expected from the explanatory adequacy of ...

Ribozyme für die RNA‐katalysierte Methylierung und Markierung von RNA
Ribozyme sind vielseitige Werkzeuge für die präzise Modifikation von RNA. Das Reaktionsspektrum in‐vitro‐selektierter Ribozyme reicht vom Einbau funktioneller Gruppen und Fluorophoren bis zu natürlichen RNA‐Methylierungen. Dieser Übersichtsartikel präsentiert Cofaktor‐abhängige Ribozyme für die positionsgenaue Markierung und Modifikation von RNA ...

Background Traditional CRISPR/Cas9 systems that rely on U6 or U3 snRNA promoters (RNA polymerase III-dependent promoters) can only achieve constitutive gene editing in plants, hampering the functional analysis of specifically expressed genes.

Ribozymes are catalytic RNAs that are attractive platforms for the construction of nanoscale objects with biological functions. We designed a dimeric form of the Tetrahymena group I ribozyme as a unit structure in which two ribozymes were connected in a ...

Stem-cell-based gene therapy for HIV infection. [PDF]
Despite the enormous success of combined anti-retroviral therapy, HIV infection is still a lifelong disease and continues to spread rapidly worldwide. There is a pressing need to develop a treatment that will cure HIV infection.

Alkyltransferase Ribozyme for Site‐Specific N4‐Cytidine Alkylation
CSAR is the first ribozyme that catalyzes direct alkylation of an exocyclic amino group of an RNA nucleobase. The ribozyme was isolated as a self‐labeling catalyst from an in vitro selection library and engineered into a trans‐active ribozyme that catalyzes the transfer of a benzyl group from an O6‐modifed guanine to the N4 amino group of a specific ...

Witnessing the structural evolution of an RNA enzyme
An RNA polymerase ribozyme that has been the subject of extensive directed evolution efforts has attained the ability to synthesize complex functional RNAs, including a full-length copy of its own evolutionary ancestor.
