Reversible 2′-OH acylation enhances RNA stability
Stabilization of RNAs for storage, transport and biological application remains a profound challenge. Now, it has been shown that reversible 2′-OH acylation with easily accessible acylimidazoles unlocks efficient protection of RNA. RNA can be deprotected

Borate Minerals and RNA Stability [PDF]
The abiotic origin of genetic polymers faces two major problems: a prebiotically plausible polymerization mechanism and the maintenance of their polymerized state outside a cellular environment. The stabilizing action of borate on ribose having been reported, we have explored the possibility that borate minerals stabilize RNA.

Incoherent dual regulation by a SAM-II riboswitch controlling translation at a distance
In Sinorhizobium meliloti, the methionine biosynthesis genes metA and metZ are preceded by S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) riboswitches of the SAM-II class. Upon SAM binding, structural changes in the metZ riboswitch were predicted to cause transcriptional

VfoldCPX Server: Predicting RNA-RNA Complex Structure and Stability. [PDF]
RNA-RNA interactions are essential for genomic RNA dimerization, mRNA splicing, and many RNA-related gene expression and regulation processes. The prediction of the structure and folding stability of RNA-RNA complexes is a problem of significant ...

Effects of Nanoparticles on Double-Stranded RNA Stability in Corn Soil [PDF]
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can potentially be used as a pesticide because these molecules trigger an immune response called RNA interference (RNAi). If the expression of essential genes matching the dsRNA sequence are silenced, then the pest dies.

Predicting 3D structure and stability of RNA pseudoknots in monovalent and divalent ion solutions. [PDF]
RNA pseudoknots are a kind of minimal RNA tertiary structural motifs, and their three-dimensional (3D) structures and stability play essential roles in a variety of biological functions.

Repression of PUM1-mediated mRNA decay activates translesion synthesis after DNA damage
Biological roles of Pumilio1 (PUM1) in ubiquitous cells remain unclear. Here we identify 48 degrading target mRNAs by combined analysis of transcriptome-wide mRNA stabilities and the binding of mRNAs.

RNA Stability Measurements Using RT-qPCR in Arabidopsis Seedlings. [PDF]
Steady-state mRNA levels are determined by both the rates of transcription and degradation. Regulation of mRNA stability and/or degradation are key factors that can significantly affect mRNA levels and its biological functions.

m6A-dependent regulation of messenger RNA stability
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal (non-cap) modification present in the messenger RNA of all higher eukaryotes. Although essential to cell viability and development, the exact role of m6A modification remains to be determined.

Inference of RNA decay rate from transcriptional profiling highlights the regulatory programs of Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
The abundance of mRNA is mainly determined by the rates of RNA transcription and decay. Here, we present a method for unbiased estimation of differential mRNA decay rate from RNA-sequencing data by modeling the kinetics of mRNA metabolism.
