Mismatched Double-Stranded RNA [PDF]
Drugs in R & D, 2004 Ampligen [polyI:polyC12U] is a mismatched double-stranded RNA that acts by inducing interferon production (immunomodulator) and by activating an intracellular enzyme (RNase-L) against viral RNA transcripts (antiviral). Ampligen, currently under development by Hemispherx Biopharma in the US, acts on the immunological system through T-lymphocyte ...

Assessment of RNAi-induced silencing in banana (Musa spp.) [PDF]
, 2015 In plants, RNA- based gene silencing mediated by small RNAs functions at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional level to negatively regulate target genes, repetitive sequences, viral RNAs and/or transposon elements.

Supercoiling Double-Stranded RNA [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2010 Through a novel "polymerase-stall" labeling procedure, we have successfully generated torsionally constrained molecules of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). We have anchored these molecules within a magnetic tweezers apparatus, and by rotating the magnets, induced both positive and negative supercoils within these molecules.

Efficiency of RNA interference is improved by knockdown of dsRNA nucleases in tephritid fruit flies [PDF]
Open Biology, 2019 RNA interference (RNAi) in insects is routinely used to ascertain gene function, but also has potential as a technology to control pest species. For some insects, such as beetles, ingestion of small quantities of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is able to ...

New insights into the biological role of mammalian ADARs; the RNA editing proteins [PDF]
, 2015 The ADAR proteins deaminate adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA which is one of the most abundant modifications present in mammalian RNA.

Evidence that avian reovirus σNS is an RNA chaperone: implications for genome segment assortment. [PDF]
, 2015 Reoviruses are important human, animal and plant pathogens having 10-12 segments of double-stranded genomic RNA. The mechanisms controlling the assortment and packaging of genomic segments in these viruses, remain poorly understood.

Tracking Cryptosporidium parvum by Sequence Analysis of Small Double-Stranded RNA
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2001 We sequenced a 173-nucleotide fragment of the small double-stranded viruslike RNA of Cryptosporidium parvum isolates from 23 calves and 38 humans. Sequence diversity was detected at 17 sites.

Targeting mitochondrial metabolites and nucleic acids as an anti-inflammatory strategy
Frontiers in Drug Discovery, 2023 Mitochondrial metabolites and their derivatives have been the focus of recent efforts to develop new anti-inflammatory therapeutics. The widely used therapeutic agents dimethyl fumarate (DMF) and metformin have anti-inflammatory properties and have been ...

Recognition of two distinct elements in the RNA substrate by the RNA-binding domain of the T. thermophilus DEAD box helicase Hera [PDF]
, 2013 DEAD box helicases catalyze the ATP-dependent destabilization of RNA duplexes. Whereas duplex separation is mediated by the helicase core shared by all members of the family, flanking domains often contribute to binding of the RNA substrate.
