The potential for reassortment between Oropouche and Schmallenberg Orthobunyaviruses [PDF]
, 2017 A number of viruses within the Peribunyaviridae family are naturally occurring reassortants, a common phenomenon for segmented viruses. Using a minigenome-reporter and virus-like particle (VLP) production assay, we have accessed the potential of ...

Effects of Combinations of Untranslated-Region Sequences on Translation of mRNA [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2023 mRNA-based therapeutics have been found to be a promising treatment strategy in immunotherapy, gene therapy, and cancer treatments. Effectiveness of mRNA therapeutics depends on the level and duration of a desired protein’s expression, which is determined by various cis- and trans-regulatory elements of the mRNA.

Regulation of CCN1 via the 3′-untranslated region [PDF]
Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, 2013 The 3'-untranslated region (UTR) is known to be a critical regulator of post-transcriptional events that determine the gene expression at the RNA level. The gene CCN1 is one of the classical members of the matricellular CCN family and is involved in a number of biological processes during mammalian development.

UTRme: A Scoring-Based Tool to Annotate Untranslated Regions in Trypanosomatid Genomes
Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 Most signals involved in post-transcriptional regulatory networks are located in the untranslated regions (UTRs) of the mRNAs. Therefore, to deepen our understanding of gene expression regulation, delimitation of these regions with high accuracy is ...

Is there a classical nonsense-mediated decay pathway in trypanosomes? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 In many eukaryotes, messenger RNAs with premature termination codons are destroyed by a process called "nonsense-mediated decay", which requires the RNA helicase Upf1 and also, usually, an interacting factor, Upf2.

The Human Pregnancy-Specific Glycoprotein Genes are Tightly Linked on the Long Arm of Chromosome 19 and are Coordinately Expressed [PDF]
, 1990 The pregnancy-specific glycoprotein (PSG) genes encode a group of proteins which are found in large amounts in placenta and maternal serum. In situ hybridization analyses of metaphase chromosomes reveal that all the human pregnancy-specific glycoprotein (

The Evolution of G-quadruplex Structure in mRNA Untranslated Region
Evolutionary Bioinformatics, 2021 The RNA G-quadruplex (rG4) is a kind of non-canonical high-order secondary structure with important biological functions and is enriched in untranslated regions (UTRs) of protein-coding genes. However, how rG4 structures evolve is largely unknown.

Frequent mutation of the FOXA1 untranslated region in prostate cancer [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2018 AbstractProstate cancer has a low somatic mutation rate but non-coding regions remain underexplored. We sequenced the untranslated regions (UTRs) of 72 established driver genes in 428 patients with metastatic prostate cancer and identified FOXA1 3′-UTR mutations in 12% of patients.
