Is there a classical nonsense-mediated decay pathway in trypanosomes? [PDF]
In many eukaryotes, messenger RNAs with premature termination codons are destroyed by a process called "nonsense-mediated decay", which requires the RNA helicase Upf1 and also, usually, an interacting factor, Upf2.

Weight Change Alters the Small RNA Profile of Urinary Extracellular Vesicles in Obesity
Introduction: Various kidney diseases reportedly show different urinary extracellular vesicle (EV) RNA profiles. Although obesity is one of the main causes of chronic kidney disease, the expression pattern of urinary EV RNA in obesity is uncertain.

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 ...

The parasite Trypanosoma brucei grows as bloodstream forms in mammalian hosts, and as procyclic forms in tsetse flies. In trypanosomes, gene expression regulation depends heavily on post-transcriptional mechanisms.

Protonatable Hairpins Are Conserved in the 5'-Untranslated Region of Tymovirus RNAs [PDF]
The secondary structures of the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) of five different tymoviruses have been determined by structure probing, computer prediction and sequence comparison. Despite large sequence differences, there are remarkable similarities in the secondary structure.

Long non-coding RNA-derived peptides are immunogenic and drive a potent anti-tumour response
Long noncoding RNA molecules are RNA transcripts long thought to remain untranslated. In this study, the authors demonstrate that certain lncRNA can be translated into peptides that are immunogenic to CD8+ T cells and promote anti-tumour responses when ...

Neuronal Untranslated BC1 RNA: Targeted Gene Elimination in Mice [PDF]
Despite the potentially important roles of untranslated RNAs in cellular form or function, genes encoding such RNAs have until now received surprisingly little attention. One such gene encodes BC1 RNA, a small non-mRNA that is delivered to dendritic microdomains in neurons. We have now eliminated the BC1 RNA gene in mice.

Novel positive-sense, single-stranded RNA (+ssRNA) virus with di-cistronic genome from intestinal content of freshwater carp (Cyprinus carpio). [PDF]
A novel positive-sense, single-stranded RNA (+ssRNA) virus (Halastavi árva RNA virus, HalV; JN000306) with di-cistronic genome organization was serendipitously identified in intestinal contents of freshwater carps (Cyprinus carpio) fished by line-fishing

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 ...
