ABSTRACT Plant viruses are recognized as rapid and effective vectors to deliver CRISPR‐Cas reaction components into plants, a strategy termed virus‐induced gene editing (VIGE). However, VIGE is limited by the host range of the viral vectors. Development of new viral vectors to target a broad range of plant species will potentially enable the delivery ...

How physiology solves the gene‐centric impasse
Abstract The criteria for distinguishing between association and causation in studies of genes and function are clarified. Genomic association scores alone cannot satisfy those criteria, which is why treatment of common diseases has not benefitted from the cures expected when the Human Genome Project was launched.

Secreted Nonstructural Protein 3 is a Pathogenic Determinant of Orbivirus
This study uncovers a conserved PIP2‐dependent secretory pathway of orbivirus NS3 that induces vascular leakage. Pharmacological disruption of PIP2‐NS3 interaction significantly reduces viral pathogenicity and provides protective efficacy in murine models, establishing PIP2‐mediated NS3 secretion as both a key virulence determinant and a promising ...

Quantitation of In Vitro Activity of Synthetic Trans-Acting Ribozymes Using HPLC
The cleavage activity of synthetic ribozymes needs to be characterized by reliable and rapid methods. A chromatographic method to simultaneously quantitate the amounts of substrate, cleavage fragments and ribozyme is described.

A recombinase-activated ribozyme to knock down endogenous gene expression in zebrafish.
Precise regulation of gene expression is essential to understand a wide range of biological processes. Control over gene expression can be achieved using site-directed recombinases and endonucleases whose efficiency is variable and dependent on the ...

Exonuclease Ribozyme Encoded in a Circular Genome: On the Initiation of the RNA World
The “RNA World” hypothesis posits a reasonable scenario for the origin of life. A question central to this scenario is: which RNA species may have emerged as the first ribozyme, thereby initiating the earliest stage of life?

Background Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a satellite virus of hepatitis B. During viral replication the 1700-nucleotide-long genomic RNA and its complement, the antigenomic RNA, undergo self-cleavage catalyzed by internal ribozyme motifs that are ...

Analysis of Self-Cleaving Ribozyme Transition States [PDF]
Endonucleolytic ribozymes, non-coding RNA molecules capable of self-scission, have been studied for decades. First, because of their novel functionality, and later because their capacity to serve as paradigmatic model systems of RNA catalysis.
