Abstract:
RNA elements in the untranslated regions of plus-strand RNA viruses can control a variety of viral processes including translation, replication, packaging, and subgenomic mRNA production. The 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of Tobacco necrosis virus strain D (TNV-D; genus Betanecrovirus, family Tombusviridae) contains several well studied regulatory RNA elements. Here, we explore a previously unexamined region of the viral 3′UTR, the sequence located upstream of the 3′-cap independent translation enhancer (3′CITE).

Abstract:
The untranslated regions (UTRs) of the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) genome contain multiple functional elements. In the 5′ UTR, the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) element governs cap-independent translation initiation, whereas the S region is presumably involved in RNA replication. The 3′ UTR, composed of two stem–loops and a poly(A) tract, is required for viral infectivity and stimulates IRES activity. Here, it was found that the 3′ end established two distinct strand-specific, long-range RNA–RNA interactions, one with the S region and another with the IRES element. These interact

Viruses rely on the cellular machinery of host cells to synthesize their proteins, and have developed different mechanisms enabling them to compete with cellular mRNAs for access to it. The genus Flavivirus is a large group of positive, single-stranded RNA viruses that includes several important human pathogens, such as West Nile, Dengue and Zika virus. The genome of flaviviruses bears a type 1 cap structure at its 5′ end, needed for the main translation initiation mechanism.

ABSTRACT Cytoplasmic viral RNAs with 5′ triphosphates (5′ppp) are detected by the RNA helicase RIG-I, initiating downstream signaling and alpha/beta interferon (IFN-α/β) expression that establish an antiviral state. We demonstrate here that the hepatitis C virus (HCV) 3′ untranslated region (UTR) RNA has greater activity as an immune stimulator than several flavivirus UTR RNAs. We confirmed that the HCV 3′-UTR poly(U/UC) region is the determinant for robust activation of RIG-I-mediated innate immune signaling and that its antisense sequence, poly(AG/A), is an equivalent RIG-I activator.

Abstract Single-nucleodie polymorphism (SNP) has a profound impact upon one’s susceptibility to autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Although it is well established that 3’UTR play a major role in regulating RNA stability, the contribution of SNP in the 3’UTR to the risk of autoimmune diseases has not well characterized. We have proviously reported the contribution of mouse CD24 3’UTR to its mRNA stability, so we investigated the significance of SNPs in the hCD24 3’UTR to MS susceptibility.

The production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), a key proinflammatory cytokine essential for the function of the immune system, is regulated at both the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels.

Mapping of murine TNF-alpha mRNA by using a combination of RNase protection and RNA gel shift assays revealed that two distinct sites within the 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) engage in the formation of four major RNA-protein complexes, while no

RNAs play important roles in gene expression through translation and RNA splicing. Regulation of specific RNAs is useful to understand and manipulate specific transcripts. Pumilio and fem-3 mRNA-binding factor (PUF) proteins, programmable RNA-binding proteins, are promising tools for regulating specific RNAs by fusing them with various functional domains. The key question is: How can PUF-based molecular tools efficiently regulate RNA functions?

It has previously been shown that a particular six-base insertion in loop 1 of the pseudoknot is extremely deleterious to the virus. We have now isolated multiple independent second-site revertants of the loop 1 insertion mutant, and we used reverse-genetics methods to confirm the identities of

The 3.5-kb form harbors AU-rich elements (AURE) in the extended 3′-UTR, which enhance turnover. After peak stimulation of 3.5-kb mRNA, degradation is seen. Star mRNA turnover is enhanced by the zinc finger protein ZFP36L1/TIS11b, which binds to UAUUUAUU repeats in the extended 3′-UTR. TIS11b is rapi

In this work, microinjection of various deleted and chimeric RNAs was used to delineate regions in MBP mRNA that are required for transport and localization in oligodendrocytes.
