Viroid RNA redirects host DNA ligase 1 to act as an RNA ligase [PDF]
Viroids are a unique class of noncoding RNAs: composed of only a circular, single-stranded molecule of 246–401 nt, they manage to replicate, move, circumvent host defenses, and frequently induce disease in higher plants. Viroids replicate through an RNA-to-RNA rolling-circle mechanism consisting of transcription of oligomeric viroid RNA ...

New ligase-derived RNA polymerase ribozymes [PDF]
The search is underway for a catalytic RNA molecule capable of self-replication. Finding such a ribozyme would lend crucial support to the RNA World hypothesis, which holds that very early life-forms relied on RNA for both replicating and storing genetic information.

The acquisition of functions via the elongation of nucleotides is an important factor in the development of the RNA world. In our previous study, we found that the introduction of complementary seven-membered kissing loops into inactive R3C ligase ...

Mutational analysis of Trypanosoma brucei RNA editing ligase reveals regions critical for interaction with KREPA2. [PDF]
The Trypanosoma brucei parasite causes the vector-borne disease African sleeping sickness. Mitochondrial mRNAs of T. brucei undergo posttranscriptional RNA editing to make mature, functional mRNAs.

Diversity and roles of (t)RNA ligases [PDF]
The discovery of discontiguous tRNA genes triggered studies dissecting the process of tRNA splicing. As a result, we have gained detailed mechanistic knowledge on enzymatic removal of tRNA introns catalyzed by endonuclease and ligase proteins. In addition to the elucidation of tRNA processing, these studies facilitated the discovery of additional ...

An improved method for surface immobilisation of RNA: application to small Non-Coding RNA - mRNA pairing [PDF]
Characterisation of RNA and its intermolecular interactions is increasing in importance as the inventory of known RNA functions continues to expand. RNA-RNA interactions are central to post-transcriptional gene regulation mechanisms in bacteria, and the ...
