Characterization of the Small Untranslated RNA RyhB and Its Regulon inVibrio cholerae [PDF]
ABSTRACTNumerous small untranslated RNAs (sRNAs) have been identified inEscherichia coliin recent years, and their roles are gradually being defined. However, few of these sRNAs appear to be conserved inVibrio cholerae, and both identification and characterization of sRNAs inV. choleraeremain at a preliminary stage. We have characterized one of the few

Summary: Bacterial pathogens often employ RNA regulatory elements located in the 5′ untranslated regions (UTRs) to control gene expression. Using a comparative structural analysis, we examine the structure of 5′ UTRs at a global scale in the pathogenic ...

Satellite RNA-Derived Small Interfering RNA satsiR-12 Targeting the 3′ Untranslated Region of Cucumber Mosaic Virus Triggers Viral RNAs for Degradation [PDF]
ABSTRACT RNA silencing provides protection against RNA viruses by targeting both the helper virus and its satellite RNA (satRNA). Virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) bound with Argonaute (AGO) proteins are presumed participants in the silencing process.

Genome-wide double-stranded RNA sequencing reveals the functional significance of base-paired RNAs in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
The functional structure of all biologically active molecules is dependent on intra- and inter-molecular interactions. This is especially evident for RNA molecules whose functionality, maturation, and regulation require formation of correct secondary ...

Inhibition of hepatitis C virus IRES-mediated translation by small RNAs analogous to stem-loop structures of the 5'-untranslated region [PDF]
Translation of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA is mediated by the interaction of ribosomes and cellular proteins with an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) located within the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR). We have investigated whether small RNA molecules corresponding to the different stem-loop (SL) domains of the HCV IRES, when introduced in trans,

A small yeast RNA selectively inhibits internal initiation of translation programmed by poliovirus RNA: specific interaction with cellular proteins that bind to the viral 5'-untranslated region [PDF]
We have purified, sequenced, and prepared a synthetic clone of a small (60-nucleotide) RNA molecule from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that had previously been isolated on the basis of its ability to selectively block the translation of poliovirus mRNA. RNA derived from the clone by transcription with T7 RNA polymerase appears to block translation
