Statistical analysis supports UTR (untranslated region) deletion theory in SARS-CoV-2
Virulence, 2022 It was noticed that the mortality rate of SARS-CoV-2 infection experienced a significant declination in the early stage of the epidemic. We suspect that the sharp deterioration of virus toxicity is related to the deletion of the untranslated region (UTR)

Hepatitis C virus 3'UTR regulates viral translation through direct interactions with the host translation machinery. [PDF]
, 2013 The 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) messenger RNA stimulates viral translation by an undetermined mechanism. We identified a high affinity interaction, conserved among different HCV genotypes, between the HCV 3'UTR and the host ...

Expression of distinct RNAs from 3′ untranslated regions [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2010 The 3' untranslated regions (3'UTRs) of eukaryotic genes regulate mRNA stability, localization and translation. Here, we present evidence that large numbers of 3'UTRs in human, mouse and fly are also expressed separately from the associated protein-coding sequences to which they are normally linked, likely by post-transcriptional cleavage.

Massively parallel functional annotation of 3′ untranslated regions [PDF]
Nature Biotechnology, 2014 Functional characterization of noncoding sequences is crucial for understanding the human genome and learning how genetic variation contributes to disease. 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) are an important class of noncoding sequences, but their functions remain largely uncharacterized.

Novel Dengue Virus Type 1 from Travelers to Yap State, Micronesia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006 Dengue virus type 1 (DENV-1), which was responsible for the dengue fever outbreak in Yap State, Micronesia, in 2004, was isolated from serum samples of 4 dengue patients in Japan. Genome sequencing demonstrated that this virus belonged to genotype IV and

Alternative 5' untranslated regions are involved in expression regulation of human heme oxygenase-1. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The single nucleotide polymorphism rs2071746 and a (GT)n microsatellite within the human gene encoding heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX1) are associated with incidence or outcome in a variety of diseases.

The effect of the length of the 3′‐untranslated region on expression in plants [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1996 The effect of increasing the length of the 3′‐untranslated region (UTR) on expression of luciferase mRNA was examined in transiently transfected carrot protoplasts. The effect of the 3′‐UTR on both poly(A)− and poly(A)+ mRNA was examined. A nested set of constructs in which the 3′‐UTR increased from 4 to 104 bases was generated by the introduction and ...

Expression of versican 3'-untranslated region modulates endogenous microRNA functions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Mature microRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded RNAs that regulate post-transcriptional gene expression. In our previous study, we have shown that versican 3'UTR, a fragment of non-coding transcript, has the ability to antagonize miR-199a-3p function ...

cDNA Cloning Demonstrates the Expression of Pregnancy-Specific Glycoprotein Genes, a Subgroup of the Carcinoembryonic Antigen Gene Family, in Fetal Liver [PDF]
, 1989 The pregnancy-specific glycoprotein (PSG) genes constitute a subgroup of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) gene family. Here we report the cloning of four cDNAs coding for different members of the PSG family from a human fetal liver cDNA library.

The RNA Architecture of the SARS-CoV-2 3′-Untranslated Region
Viruses, 2020 Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the current COVID-19 pandemic. The 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of this β-CoV contains essential cis-acting RNA elements for the viral genome transcription and replication ...
