Interaction of PKR with single-stranded RNA
Although the antiviral kinase PKR was originally characterized as a double-stranded RNA activated enzyme it can be stimulated by RNAs containing limited secondary structure.

siRNA-like double-stranded RNAs are specifically protected against degradation in human cell extract. [PDF]
RNA interference (RNAi) is a set of intracellular pathways in eukaryotes that controls both exogenous and endogenous gene expression. The power of RNAi to knock down (silence) any gene of interest by the introduction of synthetic small-interfering (si ...

Double-Stranded RNA Attenuates the Barrier Function of Human Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells [PDF]
Circulating RNA may result from excessive cell damage or acute viral infection and can interact with vascular endothelial cells. Despite the obvious clinical implications associated with the presence of circulating RNA, its pathological effects on ...

Endonuclease V is highly conserved, both structurally and functionally, from bacteria to humans, and it cleaves the deoxyinosine-containing double-stranded DNA in Escherichia coli, whereas in Homo sapiens it catalyses the inosine-containing single ...

A20 (Tnfaip3) deficiency in myeloid cells protects against influenza A virus infection [PDF]
The innate immune response provides the first line of defense against viruses and other pathogens by responding to specific microbial molecules. Influenza A virus (IAV) produces double-stranded RNA as an intermediate during the replication life cycle ...

Double-Stranded RNA Resists Condensation
Much attention has been focused on DNA condensation because of its fundamental biological importance. The recent discovery of new roles for RNA duplexes demands efficient packaging of double-stranded RNA for therapeutics. Here we report measurements of short DNA and RNA duplexes in the presence of trivalent ions.

Rotavirus infection induces transient pancreatic involution and hyperglycemia in weanling mice. [PDF]
Rotavirus is a ubiquitous double-stranded RNA virus responsible for most cases of infantile gastroenteritis. It infects pancreatic islets in vitro and is implicated as a trigger of autoimmune destruction of islet beta cells leading to type 1 diabetes ...

A phagocytic route for uptake of double-stranded RNA in RNAi. [PDF]
RNA interference (RNAi) has a range of physiological functions including as a defence mechanism against viruses. To protect uninfected cells in a multicellular organism, not only a cell-autonomous RNAi response is required but also a systemic one ...
