Mutations in the RMRP-gene, encoding the lncRNA component of the RNase MRP complex, are the origin of cartilage-hair hypoplasia. Cartilage-hair hypoplasia is associated with severe dwarfism caused by impaired skeletal development.

A nuclear function for RNase MRP. [PDF]
The site-specific endoribonuclease RNase MRP was first identified 7 years ago as an RNA-processing activity in mammalian cells (1, 2). In the original description of this ribonucleoprotein, as isolated from either mouse or human cells, it was shown that the enzyme had the capacity to cleave RNA in a sequence-specific manner that matched one of the ...

To tackle the alarming mortality rate linked to Candida albicans infections, a synthetic lethal strategy precisely aimed at the two distinct forms of this fungus: yeast and hyphae is formulated. Ultimately, through the innovative use of macrophage membranes for drug delivery, the effectiveness of this strategy is substantially boosted while ...

Heterodimerization regulates RNase MRP/RNase P association, localization, and expression of Rpp20 and Rpp25 [PDF]
Rpp20 and Rpp25 are subunits of the human RNase MRP and RNase P endoribonucleases belonging to the Alba superfamily of nucleic acid binding proteins. These proteins, which bind very strongly to each other, transiently associate with RNase MRP. Here, we show that the Rpp20-Rpp25 heterodimer is resistant to both high concentrations of salt and a nonionic

The study identifies a novel circular RNA derived from the TP53 gene (circTP53), which is upregulated in HNSCC and correlates with poor patient prognosis. It demonstrates that circTP53 promotes HNSCC progression by interacting with USP10, stabilizing both proteins, enhancing deubiquitination of p53, and thereby influencing tumor growth, with its ...

Here, we report that mitochondria from rat skeletal muscle contain a select population of nuclear‐encoded protein‐coding and noncoding RNAs, including 3 microRNAs whose expression tended to be altered by exercise training. These findings suggest that mitochondria‐localized nuclear‐encoded RNAs may play a role in mediating the beneficial adaptive ...
