The Exosome Subunit Rrp44 Plays a Direct Role in RNA Substrate Recognition [PDF]
, 2007 The exosome plays key roles in RNA maturation and surveillance, but it is unclear how target RNAs are identified. We report the functional characterization of the yeast exosome component Rrp44, a member of the RNase II family.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Cofactor-mediated conformational control in the bifunctional kinase/RNase Ire1
BMC Biology, 2011 Background Ire1 is a signal transduction protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane that serves to adjust the protein-folding capacity of the ER according to the needs of the cell.

Hfq binding changes the structure of Escherichia coli small noncoding RNAs OxyS and RprA, which are involved in the riboregulation of rpoS [PDF]
, 2013 OxyS and RprA are two small noncoding RNAs (sRNAs) that modulate the expression of rpoS, encoding an alternative sigma factor that activates transcription of multiple Escherichia coli stress-response genes. While RprA activates rpoS for translation, OxyS

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.ZFAS1 is a lncRNA promoting cell proliferation and migration, exhibiting high expression in various cancers. It is conserved, widely expressed, and produces multiple splice variants with unclear roles. We identified several splice variants in hepatocyte models, and found that inhibiting or suppressing regulators of the unfolded protein response (PERK ...

Targeting Cancer-Associated Transcripts with Engineered RNase P Ribozymes
SynBioNucleic acid-based gene interfering and editing molecules, such as antisense oligonucleotides, ribozymes, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and CRISPR-Cas9-associated guide RNAs, are promising gene-targeting agents for therapeutic applications.

RNase MRP/RNase P: a structure‐function relation conserved in evolution? [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1993 RNase P and RNase MRP are related ribonucleoproteins. RNase MRP processes mitochondrial precursor‐ (primer) RNAs, whereas RNase P cleaves precursor‐tRNAs to produce their mature 5'‐ends. Both RNase P and RNase MRP are associated with the Th/To ribonucleoprotein suggesting possible interrelated pathways and/or functions.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.A regulatory axis involving APE1, AUF1, and miR‐221 is proposed. Pri‐miR‐221 is processed by DROSHA and DICER to generate mature miR‐221, which targets p27Kip1 mRNA. APE1 and AUF1 compete for pre‐miR‐221 binding. Reduced APE1/AUF1 levels impair miR‐221 biogenesis, decrease p27Kip1 mRNA degradation, and promote cell cycle progression, chemoresistance ...

Inhibition of Bacterial RNase P RNA by Phenothiazine Derivatives
Biomolecules, 2016 There is a need to identify novel scaffolds and targets to develop new antibiotics. Methylene blue is a phenothiazine derivative, and it has been shown to possess anti-malarial and anti-trypanosomal activities.

The Conserved Dcw Gene Cluster of R. sphaeroides Is Preceded by an Uncommonly Extended 5 Leader Featuring the sRNA UpsM [PDF]
, 2016 Cell division and cell wall synthesis mechanisms are similarly conserved among bacteria. Consequently some bacterial species have comparable sets of genes organized in the dcw (division and cell wall) gene cluster.
