Dynamics of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Levels in the Novel Coronavirus Infection COVID-19
Background. It has been established that metalloproteinase-9 (hereinafter MMP-9) is the most inducible enzyme of the metalloproteinase family. It regulates the migration of leukocytes to the site of inflammation, participates in the stimulation of pro ...

In vivo analysis of NHPX reveals a novel nucleolar localization pathway involving a transient accumulation in splicing speckles [PDF]
The NHPX protein is a nucleolar factor that binds directly to a conserved RNA target sequence found in nucleolar box C/D snoRNAs and in U4 snRNA. Using enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP)– and enhanced cyan fluorescent protein–NHPX fusions, we ...

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors
Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.

Association of the Influenza A Virus RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase with Cellular RNA Polymerase II [PDF]
ABSTRACT Transcription by the influenza virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase is dependent on cellular RNA processing activities that are known to be associated with cellular RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription, namely, capping and splicing.

Klebsiella Phage KP34 RNA Polymerase and Its Use in RNA Synthesis
We have characterized the single subunit RNA polymerase from Klebsiella phage KP34. The enzyme is unique among known bacteriophage RNA polymerases in that it recognizes two unrelated promoter sequences, which provided clues for the evolution of phage ...

Production of positive controls for calcivirus-specific PCR using recombinant baculiovirus technology [PDF]
Recent advances in our knowledge of the genetic structure of human caliciviruses (HuCVs) and small round-structured viruses (SRSVs) have led to the development of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based molecular tests specific for these viruses.

A splicing-dependent transcriptional checkpoint associated with prespliceosome formation [PDF]
There is good evidence for functional interactions between splicing and transcription in eukaryotes, but how and why these processes are coupled remain unknown.

CDK9-dependent RNA polymerase II pausing controls transcription initiation
Gene transcription can be activated by decreasing the duration of RNA polymerase II pausing in the promoter-proximal region, but how this is achieved remains unclear.

This study demonstrates that KRAS and GNAS mutations are more prevalent in patients with resected intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) compared to those under clinical surveillance. GNAS mutations significantly differ between the two patient cohorts, indicating that their absence may serve as a potential biomarker to support conservative ...
