ABCE1 Regulates RNase L-Induced Autophagy during Viral Infections
Host response to a viral infection includes the production of type I interferon (IFN) and the induction of interferon-stimulated genes that have broad antiviral effects.

RNase AS versus RNase T: Similar yet Different [PDF]
In this issue of Structure, Romano and colleagues show that RNase AS specifically hydrolyses adenylate-containing RNA and affects mycobacterial virulence. This study reveals the structural basis underlying the substrate specificity of this enzyme.

Cytosolic RNase Inhibitor Only Affects RNases with Intrinsic Cytotoxicity [PDF]
Cytosolic RNase inhibitor binds to and neutralizes most members of the pancreatic type RNase superfamily. However, there are a few exceptions, e.g. amphibian onconase and bovine seminal RNase, and these are endowed with cytotoxic activity. Also, RNase variants created by mutagenesis to partially evade the RNase inhibitor acquire cytotoxic activity ...

A novel mechanism of RNase L inhibition: Theiler\u27s virus L* protein prevents 2-5A from binding to RNase L [PDF]
The OAS/RNase L pathway is one of the best-characterized effector pathways of the IFN antiviral response. It inhibits the replication of many viruses and ultimately promotes apoptosis of infected cells, contributing to the control of virus spread ...

RNase 7 contributes to the cutaneous defense against Enterococcus faecium. [PDF]
BackgroundHuman skin is able to mount a fast response against invading microorganisms by the release of antimicrobial proteins such as the ribonuclease RNase 7. Because RNase 7 exhibits high activity against Enterococcus faecium the aim of this study was

Cationic poly(amidoamine) promotes cytosolic delivery of bovine RNase A in melanoma cells, while maintaining its cellular toxicity [PDF]
Ribonucleases are known to cleave ribonucleic acids, inducing cell death. RNase A, a member of the ribonuclease family, generally displayed poor in vitro activity. This has been attributed to factors such as low intracellular delivery.

Structural basis for dual roles of Aar2p in U5 snRNP assembly [PDF]
Yeast U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP) is assembled via a cytoplasmic precursor that contains the U5-specific Prp8 protein but lacks the U5-specific Brr2 helicase.
