Structure Characterization of Escherichia coli Pseudouridine Kinase PsuK

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Pseudouridine (Ψ) is one of the most abundant RNA modifications in cellular RNAs that post-transcriptionally impact many aspects of RNA. However, the metabolic fate of modified RNA nucleotides has long been a question. A pseudouridine kinase (PsuK) and a

Crystal structure and functional implications of cyclic di-pyrimidine-synthesizing cGAS/DncV-like nucleotidyltransferases

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Purine-containing nucleotide second messengers regulate diverse cellular activities. Cyclic di-pyrimidines mediate anti-phage functions in bacteria; however, the synthesis mechanism remains elusive.

The Orphan Receptor GPR17 Is Unresponsive to Uracil Nucleotides and Cysteinyl Leukotrienes [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Pharmacology, 2017
Pairing orphan G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) with their cognate endogenous ligands is expected to have a major impact on our understanding of GPCR biology. It follows that the reproducibility of orphan receptor ligand pairs should be of fundamental importance to guide meaningful investigations into the pharmacology and function of individual ...

Expression of microRNAs in Horse Plasma and Their Characteristic Nucleotide Composition. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) in blood plasma are stable under high levels of ribonuclease activity and could function in tissue-to-tissue communication, suggesting that they may have distinctive structural characteristics compared with non-circulating miRNAs.

High expression of uracil DNA glycosylase determines C to T substitution in human pluripotent stem cells

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2022
Precise genome editing of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) is crucial not only for basic science but also for biomedical applications such as ex vivo stem cell therapy and genetic disease modeling.

Nonsynonymous Mutations in Linker-2 of the Pdr5 Multidrug Transporter Identify a New RNA Stability Element

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
Analysis of synonymous mutations established that although the primary amino acid sequence remains unchanged, alterations in transcription and translation can result in significant phenotypic consequences. We report the novel observation that a series of

Understanding the interaction of nucleotides with UVC light: an insight from quantum chemical calculation-based findings

open access: yes, 2023
Short-wave ultraviolet (also called UVC) irradiation is a well-adopted method of viral inactivation due to its ability to damage genetic material. A fundamental problem with the UVC inactivation method is that its mechanism of action on viruses is still ...

Northern Blot of tRNA in Yeast

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2013
tRNAs are small RNAs around 70-90 nt. tRNAs are different from many other small RNAs in that they are very abundant, which makes it difficult to study their transcriptional regulation by traditional northern blot.
