stepRNA: Identification of Dicer cleavage signatures and passenger strand lengths in small RNA sequences

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioinformatics, 2022
The enzyme Dicer is a component of many small RNA (sRNA) pathways involved in RNA processing for post-transcriptional regulation, anti-viral response and control of transposable elements.

RNase P RNA‐mediated cleavage [PDF]

open access: yesIUBMB Life, 2009
AbstractMetal(II)‐induced hydrolysis of RNA produce products with 5′‐hydroxyls and 2′;3′‐cyclic phosphates at the ends. Ribozymes are RNA molecules that act as catalysts. Some ribozymes that cleave RNA also generate 5′‐hydroxyls and 2′;3′‐cyclic phosphates whereas others produces 5′‐phosphates and 3′‐hydroxyls at the ends of the cleavage products ...

Further Probing of Cu2+-Dependent PNAzymes Acting as Artificial RNA Restriction Enzymes

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
Peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-neocuproine conjugates have been shown to efficiently catalyse the cleavage of RNA target sequences in the presence of Cu2+ ions in a site-specific manner. These artificial enzymes are designed to force the formation of a bulge

Characterization of MazF-Mediated Sequence-Specific RNA Cleavage in Pseudomonas putida Using Massive Parallel Sequencing. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Under environmental stress, microbes are known to alter their translation patterns using sequence-specific endoribonucleases that we call RNA interferases. However, there has been limited insight regarding which RNAs are specifically cleaved by these RNA

Crystal structure of the 25 kDa subunit of human cleavage factor Im [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Cleavage factor I(m) is an essential component of the pre-messenger RNA 3'-end processing machinery in higher eukaryotes, participating in both the polyadenylation and cleavage steps. Cleavage factor I(m) is an oligomer composed of a small 25 kDa subunit

Regulation of coronavirus nsp15 cleavage specificity by RNA structure

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
SARS-CoV-2, the etiologic agent of the COVID-19 pandemic, has had an enduring impact on global public health. However, SARS-CoV-2 is only one of multiple pathogenic human coronaviruses (CoVs) to have emerged since the turn of the century. CoVs encode for

A programmable pAgo nuclease with RNA target-cleavage specificity from the mesophilic bacterium Verrucomicrobia

open access: yesActa Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2023
Argonaute (Ago) proteins are conserved programmable nucleases present in eukaryotes and prokaryotes and provide defense against mobile genetic elements. Almost all characterized pAgos prefer to cleave DNA targets.
