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

Characterization by Small RNA Sequencing of Taro Bacilliform CH Virus (TaBCHV), a Novel Badnavirus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 RNA silencing is an antiviral immunity that regulates gene expression through the production of small RNAs (sRNAs). In this study, deep sequencing of small RNAs was used to identify viruses infecting two taro plants.

Structural analysis of leucine, lysine and tryptophan mitochondrial tRNA of nesting turtles Caretta caretta (Testudines: Chelonioidea) in the Colombian Caribbean [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 The understanding of the functional properties of mitochondrial transfer RNA (mt tRNAs) depend on the knowledge of its structure. tRNA acts as an interface between polynucleotides and polypeptides thus, they are key molecules in protein biosynthesis. The

DGR mutagenic transposition occurs via hypermutagenic reverse transcription primed by nicked template RNA. [PDF]
, 2017 Diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs) are molecular evolution machines that facilitate microbial adaptation to environmental changes. Hypervariation occurs via a mutagenic retrotransposition process from a template repeat (TR) to a variable repeat ...

A contracted DNA repeat in LHX3 intron 5 is associated with aberrant splicing and pituitary dwarfism in German shepherd dogs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Dwarfism in German shepherd dogs is due to combined pituitary hormone deficiency of unknown genetic cause. We localized the recessively inherited defect by a genome wide approach to a region on chromosome 9 with a lod score of 9.8.

Remote Control of Eukaryotic Gene Expression by a Modular Ultrasound‐Responsive RNA Toolkit
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A modular RNA‐based sonogenetic toolkit enables remote control of gene expression in eukaryotes by releasing small molecule modulators from ultrasound‐responsive carriers. These modulators activate engineered mRNA elements such as riboswitches, leading to tunable protein expression.

Is GPR17 a P2Y/Leukotriene Receptor? Examination of Uracil Nucleotides, Nucleotide Sugars, and Cysteinyl Leukotrienes as Agonists of GPR17 [PDF]
The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2013 The orphan receptor GPR17 has been reported to be activated by UDP, UDP-sugars, and cysteinyl leukotrienes, and coupled to intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and inhibition of cAMP accumulation, but other studies have reported either a different agonist profile or lack of agonist activity altogether.
