Selection of efficient cleavage sites in target RNAs by using a ribozyme expression library.

Molecular and Cellular Biology
A Lieber, M Strauss

Abstract

Inactivation of gene expression by antisense mechanisms in general and by ribozymes in particular is a powerful technique for studying the function of a gene product. We have designed a strategy for expression of ribozymes, for selection of accessible cleavage sites in target RNAs, and for isolation of ribozymes from a library of random sequences flanking the unique sequence of a hammerhead. The expression cassette for ribozyme genes is based on adenovirus-associated RNA. Alternatively, we used polymerase III or the T7 phage transcription machinery. The ribozyme sequences are positioned in the center of a stable stem-loop structure, allowing for a correctly folded ribozyme region within the expressed RNA. A library of ribozyme genes with random sequences of 13 nucleotides on both sides of the hammerhead was generated. As an example, ribozymes which are specific for seven sites within the mRNA or nuclear RNA of human growth hormone were selected and identified. Sequencing of ribozyme genes reamplified from the library confirmed not only the predicted cleavage sites but also the presence of different ribozyme variants in the library. In a test of the ribozyme variants for repression of growth hormone synthesis in a cellular assay...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
