Determination of ribonuclease sequence-specificity using Pentaprobes and mass spectrometry

, 2012
The VapBC toxin-antitoxin (TA) family is the largest of nine identified TA families. The toxin, VapC, is a metal-dependent ribonuclease that is inhibited by its cognate antitoxin, VapB. Although the VapBCs are the largest TA family, little is known about

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

SnapShot: RNA Structure Probing Technologies

Cell, 2018
Chemical probing coupled to high-throughput sequencing offers a flexible approach to uncover many aspects of RNA structure relevant to its cellular function. With a wide variety of chemical probes available that each report on different features of RNA molecules, a broad toolkit exists for investigating in vivo and in vitro RNA structure and ...

Structural insights into the dynamics and function of the C-terminus of the E. coli RNA chaperone Hfq [PDF]

, 2011
The hexameric Escherichia coli RNA chaperone Hfq (Hfq(Ec)) is involved in riboregulation of target mRNAs by small trans-encoded RNAs. Hfq proteins of different bacteria comprise an evolutionarily conserved core, whereas the C-terminus is variable in ...

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Development of single-tube nested real-time PCR assays with long internally quenched probes for detection of norovirus genogroup II

BioTechniques, 2016
The high sequence variation of RNA viruses necessitates use of degenerate primers and probes or multiple primers and probes in molecular diagnostic assays. We showed previously that PCR amplification in two rounds, first with long target-specific primers

Probing RNA Structure by Lead Cleavage [PDF]

Current Protocols in Nucleic Acid Chemistry, 2000
AbstractLead cleavage causes a transesterification reaction that breaks the 5′,3′‐phosphodiester backbone of RNA, leaving a 2′,3′‐cyclic phosphate and a 5′‐hydroxyl. Since the efficiency of the reaction at the 2′‐hydroxyl is related to steric and chemical constraints on particular 2′‐hydroxyls embedded in the RNA, this reaction can be used to examine ...
