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.

A twist in the tail : SHAPE mapping of long-range interactions and structural rearrangements of RNA elements involved in HCV replication [PDF]
The RNA structure and long-range interactions of the SL9266 cis-acting replication element located within the NS5B coding region of hepatitis C virus (HCV) were determined using selective 2′-hydroxyl acylation analysed by primer extension.

A hepatitis C virus cis-acting replication element forms a long-range RNA-RNA interaction with upstream RNA sequences in NS5B [PDF]
The genome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) contains cis-acting replication elements (CREs) comprised of RNA stem-loop structures located in both the 5' and 3' non-coding regions (NCR), and in the NS5B coding sequence.

Biased Hypermutagenesis Associated with Mutations in an Untranslated Hairpin of an RNA Virus [PDF]
ABSTRACT The mutation frequency of Turnip crinkle virus can increase 12-fold without inducing error catastrophe. Lesions in a hairpin repressor frequently reverted and led to second-site alterations biased for specific mutations.

p300-Mediated H3K18 Lactylation Drives Radiation-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis via VIRMA-Dependent m6A Modification of GATA3. [PDF]
Radiation triggers glycolytic reprogramming in alveolar epithelial type II cells, causing pathological lactate accumulation. This metabolic stress drives p300‐mediated H3K18 lactylation at the VIRMA promoter, activating transcription. Elevated VIRMA enriches m6A on GATA3 mRNA, which YTHDF1 stabilizes, ultimately driving epithelial–mesenchymal ...

Post-transcriptional control of nuclear-encoded cytochrome oxidase subunits in Trypanosoma brucei:evidence for genome-wide conservation of life-cycle stage-specific regulatory elements [PDF]
Trypanosomes represent an excellent model for the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression because their genome is organized into polycistronic transcription units.

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.

Detection of genome-scale ordered RNA structure (GORS) in genomes of positive-stranded RNA viruses:Implications for virus evolution and host persistence [PDF]
Discrete RNA secondary and higher-order structures, typically local in extent, play a fundamental role in RNA virus replication. Using new bioinformatics analysis methods, we have identified genome-scale ordered RNA structure (GORS) in many genera and ...
