Nuclease escape elements protect messenger RNA against cleavage by multiple viral endonucleases
During lytic Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infection, the viral endonu- clease SOX promotes widespread degradation of cytoplasmic messenger RNA (mRNA). However, select mRNAs, including the transcript encoding interleukin-6 (IL-6), escape SOX-induced cleavage. IL-6 escape is mediated through a 3' UTR RNA regulatory element that overrides the SOX targeting mechanism. Here, we rev...
متن کاملCo-transcriptional DNA and RNA Cleavage during Type III CRISPR-Cas Immunity
Immune systems must recognize and destroy different pathogens that threaten the host. CRISPR-Cas immune systems protect prokaryotes from viral and plasmid infection utilizing small CRISPR RNAs that are complementary to the invader's genome and specify the targets of RNA-guided Cas nucleases. Type III CRISPR-Cas immunity requires target transcription, and whereas genetic studies demonstrated DNA...
متن کاملRegulation of ribonuclease III processing by double-helical sequence antideterminants.
The double helix is a ubiquitous feature of RNA molecules and provides a target for nucleases involved in RNA maturation and decay. Escherichia coli ribonuclease III participates in maturation and decay pathways by site-specifically cleaving double-helical structures in cellular and viral RNAs. The site of cleavage can determine RNA functional activity and half-life and is specified in part by ...
متن کاملArchitecture of the RNA Polymerase II-TFIIS Complex and Implications for mRNA Cleavage
The transcription elongation factor TFIIS induces mRNA cleavage by enhancing the intrinsic nuclease activity of RNA polymerase (Pol) II. We have diffused TFIIS into Pol II crystals and derived a model of the Pol II-TFIIS complex from X-ray diffraction data to 3.8 A resolution. TFIIS extends from the polymerase surface via a pore to the internal active site, spanning a distance of 100 A. Two ess...
متن کاملHuman immunodeficiency virus type 1 escape from RNA interference.
Sequence-specific degradation of mRNA by short interfering RNA (siRNA) allows the selective inhibition of viral proteins that are critical for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication. The aim of this study was to characterize the potency and durability of virus-specific RNA interference (RNAi) in cell lines that stably express short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting the HIV-1 transa...
