cd26 Knockdown Negatively Affects Porcine Parthenogenetic Preimplantation Embryo Development
cd26 is ubiquitously distributed in the body, particularly in the endothelial and epithelial cells, with the highest expression in the kidney, liver, and small intestine. In humans, cd26 serves as a marker for the embryo implantation phase.

Predicting RNA-small molecule binding sites by 3D structure [PDF]
The prediction of RNA-small molecule binding sites is crucial for the discovery of effective drugs. Various computational methods have been developed to address this challenge, using information about the structure and sequence of RNA. In this study, we introduce CplxCavity, a combination of a new algorithm and a machine learning model specifically ...

MicroRNA in control of gene expression: An overview of nuclear functions [PDF]
The finding that small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are able to control gene expression in a sequence specific manner has had a massive impact on biology. Recent improvements in high throughput sequencing and computational prediction methods have allowed the

Design of LNA-modified siRNAs against the highly structured 5′ UTR of coxsackievirus B3 [PDF]
This study describes a strategy to develop LNA-modified small interfering RNA (siRNAs) against the highly structured 5′ UTR of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB-3), which is an attractive target site due to its high degree of conservation.

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Unraveling siRNA Unzipping Kinetics with Graphene [PDF]
Using all atom molecular dynamics simulations, we report spontaneous unzipping and strong binding of small interfering RNA (siRNA) on graphene. Our dispersion corrected density functional theory based calculations suggest that nucleosides of RNA have stronger attractive interactions with graphene as compared to DNA residues. These stronger interactions

We present the cellular transcription‐coupled Flp‐nick system allowing the introduction of a Top1‐mimicking cleavage complex (Flpcc) at a Flp recognition target site within a controllable LacZ gene. LacZ transcription leads to the collision of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) with Flpcc, and this causes RNAPII stalling, ubiquitination, and degradation.
