Interaction Network of Porcine Circovirus Type 3 and 4 Capsids with Host Proteins
An extensive understanding of the interactions between host cellular and viral proteins provides clues for studying novel antiviral strategies. Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) and type 4 (PCV4) have recently been identified as viruses that can ...

RNA capping by mitochondrial and multi-subunit RNA polymerases [PDF]
Recently, it was found that bacterial and eukaryotic transcripts are capped with cellular cofactors installed by their respective RNA polymerases (RNAPs) during transcription initiation. We now show that mitochondrial RNAP efficiently caps transcripts with ADP - containing cofactors.

Visualization of two architectures in class-II CAP-dependent transcription activation.
Transcription activation by cyclic AMP (cAMP) receptor protein (CAP) is the classic paradigm of transcription regulation in bacteria. CAP was suggested to activate transcription on class-II promoters via a recruitment and isomerization mechanism. However,

2'-O-methylation of the mRNA cap protects RNAs from decapping and degradation by DXO. [PDF]
The 5' RNA cap structure (m7GpppRNA) is a key feature of eukaryotic mRNAs with important roles in stability, splicing, polyadenylation, mRNA export, and translation.

Molecular basis of specific viral RNA recognition and 5′-end capping by the Chikungunya virus nsP1
Summary: Many viruses encode RNA-modifying enzymes to edit the 5′ end of viral RNA to mimic the cellular mRNA for effective protein translation, genome replication, and evasion of the host defense mechanisms.

Crystal structure of Schmallenberg orthobunyavirus nucleoprotein-RNA complex reveals a novel RNA sequestration mechanism [PDF]
Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is a newly emerged orthobunyavirus (family Bunyaviridae) that has caused severe disease in the offspring of farm animals across Europe.

Helix Capping in RNA Structure
Helices are an essential element in defining the three-dimensional architecture of structured RNAs. While internal basepairs in a canonical helix stack on both sides, the ends of the helix stack on only one side and are exposed to the loop side, thus susceptible to fraying unless they are protected.

RNA-specific ribonucleotidyl transferases [PDF]
RNA-specific nucleotidyl transferases (rNTrs) are a diverse family of template-independent polymerases that add ribonucleotides to the 3'-ends of RNA molecules.

RAM function is dependent on Kapβ2-mediated nuclear entry [PDF]
Eukaryotic gene expression is dependent on the modification of the first transcribed nucleotide of pre-mRNA by the addition of the 7-methylguanosine cap.

RNA capping: progress and prospects [PDF]
The 5′ m7GpppN cap, co-discovered by Shatkin, Furuichi, and Moss in 1975, is the signature feature of eukaryal cellular and viral messenger RNA that confers mRNA stability and efficient translation. Cap formation entails three sequential enzymatic modifications targeted to nascent pre-mRNAs synthesized by cellular or viral RNA polymerases. First, the 5′
