The global structure of the VS ribozyme
The VS ribozyme comprises five helical segments (II–VI) in a formal H shape, organized by two three-way junctions. It interacts with its stem–loop substrate (I) by tertiary interactions. We have determined the global shape of the 3–4–5 junction (relating

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 ...

Fully Reversible Regulation of 8‐17 DNAzyme Activity Using Nucleoside‐Based Diarylethenes
The site‐specific incorporation of nucleosidic diarylethenes into the 8–17 deoxyribozyme (DNAzyme) identified position 2.1 as optimal. Compound dU‐PhtBu enabled efficient light‐dependent control of catalytic activity, while maintaining thermal stability and reversibility.

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.

Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis and Chemoresistance Prediction Model Based on cfRNA Molecular Signature
A deep learning model analyzes cfRNA profiles extracted from the blood of OVCA patients. This innovative approach distinguishes OVCA from healthy controls with high accuracy. Crucially, it reliably predicts patient response to chemotherapy (sensitive versus resistant subgroups).

A structural analysis of
Background Ribozymes are small catalytic RNAs that possess the dual functions of sequence-specific RNA recognition and site-specific cleavage. Trans-cleaving ribozymes can inhibit translation of genes at the messenger RNA (mRNA) level in both eukaryotic ...

Folding and catalysis by the VS ribozyme
The VS ribozyme is a 154 nt self-cleaving RNA molecule that can be divided into a trans-acting five-helix ribozyme and stem-loop substrate. The structure of the ribozyme is organised by two three-way helical junctions, the structure of which has been ...

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 ...

Ribozyme mediated destruction of RNA in vivo
Previous studies have demonstrated that high ribozyme to substrate ratios are required for ribozyme inhibitory function in nuclear extracts. To obtain high intracellular levels of ribozymes, tRNA genes, known to be highly expressed in most tissues, have ...
