Novel endoribonucleases as central players in various pathways of eukaryotic RNA metabolism [PDF]
, 2010 For a long time it has been assumed that the decay of RNA in eukaryotes is mainly carried out by exoribonucleases, which is in contrast to bacteria, where endoribonucleases are well documented to initiate RNA degradation.

Trim25 is an RNA-specific activator of Lin28a/TuT4-mediated uridylation [PDF]
, 2014 RNA binding proteins have thousands of cellular RNA targets and often exhibit opposite or passive molecular functions. Lin28a is a conserved RNA binding protein involved in pluripotency and tumorigenesis that was previously shown to trigger TuT4-mediated

Identification of novel components of Trypanosoma brucei editosomes [PDF]
, 2003 The editosome is a multiprotein complex that catalyzes the insertion and deletion of uridylates that occurs during RNA editing in trypanosomatids. We report the identification of nine novel editosome proteins in Trypanosoma brucei.

Domain orientation in the RNA helicase YxiN and the role of conformational changes for RNA unwinding [PDF]
, 2010 The RNA helicase YxiN from Bacillus subtilis is a member of the family of DEAD box proteins. YxiN is able to unwind RNA double strands in an ATP-dependent manner. The ability to catalyse RNA rearrangement is in vivo presumably necessary for the bacterial

L11 domain rearrangement upon binding to RNA and thiostrepton studied by NMR spectroscopy [PDF]
, 2006 Ribosomal proteins are assumed to stabilize specific RNA structures and promote compact folding of the large rRNA. The conformational dynamics of the protein between the bound and unbound state play an important role in the binding process.

RNA Binding Proteins and Osteosarcoma
, 2023 Osteosarcoma, the most prevalent form of bone cancer, is primarily attributed to the abnormal behavior of bone-forming mesenchymal stem cells and its occurrence as the third most common cancer among children is of concern.

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.
