Role of RNA Interference (RNAi) in the Moss Physcomitrella patens [PDF]
RNA interference (RNAi) is a mechanism that regulates genes by either transcriptional (TGS) or posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS), required for genome maintenance and proper development of an organism.

Thiolutin Derivatives as inhibitor of RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRP) of Hepatitis C Virus: An In-silico Approach [PDF]
Docking study of few Thiolutin derivatives, which originally act as Hepatitis C Virus RNA Dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRP) inhibitor, was performed by using AutoDock Vina. The docking studies reveal that thiolutin interacted with Hepatitis C Virus RNA Dependent RNA Polymerase through hydrogen bonding as well as hydrophobic interactions.

Roles of Cellular RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerases in Endogenous Small RNA Pathways in Caenorhabditis elegans: A Dissertation [PDF]
The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans is a two-step, small RNA-mediated silencing pathway. Unlike in other organisms, Dicer processing of double-stranded RNA into small interfering (si) RNAs is not sufficient in worms to induce ...

The Paramyxovirus Polymerase Complex as a Target for Next-Generation Anti-Paramyxovirus Therapeutics
The paramyxovirus family includes major human and animal pathogens, including measles virus, mumps virus, and human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), as well as the emerging zoonotic Hendra and Nipah viruses.

Distinct roles of non-canonical poly(A) polymerases in RNA metabolism [PDF]
Trf4p and Trf5p are non-canonical poly(A) polymerases and are part of the heteromeric protein complexes TRAMP4 and TRAMP5 that promote the degradation of aberrant and short-lived RNA substrates by interacting with the nuclear exosome. To assess the level

ORF8 protein in SARS-CoV-2 might be a non-canonical RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp)
No current treatment options were successful in containing the ongoing pandemic COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2. It is essential to understand the molecular players of SARS-CoV-2 to find a suitable treatment method and to develop an effective antiviral drug as early as possible.

A Conserved GA Element in TATA-Less RNA Polymerase II Promoters [PDF]
Initiation of RNA polymerase (Pol) II transcription requires assembly of the pre-initiation complex (PIC) at the promoter. In the classical view, PIC assembly starts with binding of the TATA box-binding protein (TBP) to the TATA box.

The function of the protein phosphatase Glc7p in transcription termination, RNA processing and transcriptional regulation of ribosomal protein genes [PDF]
Gene transcription in general can be subdivided into three main phases: transcription initiation, elongation and termination. The enzyme that accomplishes transcription of protein coding genes, snRNAs and snoRNAs is RNA polymerase II (RNAP II).
