Functional and structural insights revealed by molecular dynamics simulations of an essential RNA editing ligase in Trypanosoma brucei. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2007
RNA editing ligase 1 (TbREL1) is required for the survival of both the insect and bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei, the parasite responsible for the devastating tropical disease African sleeping sickness.

Mitochondrial MICOS complex genes, implicated in hypoplastic left heart syndrome, maintain cardiac contractility and actomyosin integrity

eLife, 2023
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a severe congenital heart disease (CHD) with a likely oligogenic etiology, but our understanding of the genetic complexities and pathogenic mechanisms leading to HLHS is limited.

Template-directed ligation of tethered mononucleotides by t4 DNA ligase for kinase ribozyme selection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: In vitro selection of kinase ribozymes for small molecule metabolites, such as free nucleosides, will require partition systems that discriminate active from inactive RNA species.

The RNA editing patterns are different in blood of euthymic and depressed bipolar patients

European Psychiatry, 2023
Introduction Bipolar disorder (BD) is a severe mental disorder associated with functional impairment, high disability and premature mortality. Modifications of editing in mRNA of serotonin receptor subtype 2C (5-HTR2c) was reported by us in depressed ...

Development of Allosteric Ribozymes for ATP and l-Histidine Based on the R3C Ligase Ribozyme. [PDF]

Life (Basel)
During the evolution of the RNA, short RNAs are thought to have joined together to form long RNAs, enhancing their function as ribozymes. Previously, the artificial R3C ligase ribozyme (73 nucleotides) was successfully reduced to 46 nucleotides; however,

Altered m6A RNA methylation governs denervation-induced muscle atrophy by regulating ubiquitin proteasome pathway

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2023
Background Denervation-induced muscle atrophy is complex disease involving multiple biological processes with unknown mechanisms. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) participates in skeletal muscle physiology by regulating multiple levels of RNA metabolism, but its

A meta-quantitative trait loci analysis identified consensus genomic regions and candidate genes associated with grain yield in rice

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Improving grain yield potential in rice is an important step toward addressing global food security challenges. The meta-QTL analysis offers stable and robust QTLs irrespective of the genetic background of mapping populations and phenotype environment ...

A cost-effective method for Illumina small RNA-Seq library preparation using T4 RNA ligase 1 adenylated adapters

Plant Methods, 2012
Background Deep sequencing is a powerful tool for novel small RNA discovery. Illumina small RNA sequencing library preparation requires a pre-adenylated 3’ end adapter containing a 5’,5’-adenyl pyrophosphoryl moiety.
