Triple coding in human SRD5A1 mRNA.

Background: Nucleotide sequence can be translated in three reading frames from 5' to 3' producing distinct protein products. Many examples of RNA translation in two reading frames (dual coding) have been identified so far.

Results: We report simultaneous translation of mRNA transcripts derived from locus in all three reading frames that result in the synthesis of long proteins.

Antiviral and immunomodulatory effects of ouabain against congenital Zika syndrome model.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is an arbovirus associated with neurological disorders accompanying congenital infections. With no vaccine or antiviral approved, there is an urgent need for the development of effective antiviral agents against ZIKV infection. We evaluated the anti-ZIKV and immunomodulatory activity of ouabain, a Na/K-ATPase inhibitor known to have immunomodulatory and antiviral activities, using human neural stem and progenitor cells (hNS/PCs) and a murine model of congenital Zika syndrome (CZS).

Evaluation of waning of IgG antibody responses after rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP and Ad26.ZEBOV, MVA-BN-Filo Ebola virus disease vaccines: a modelling study from the PREVAC randomized trial.

rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP and Ad26.ZEBOV, MVA-BN-Filo are WHO-prequalified vaccination regimens against Ebola virus disease (EVD). Challenges associated with measuring long-term clinical protection warrant the evaluation of immune response kinetics after vaccination.

RiboSeq.Org: an integrated suite of resources for ribosome profiling data analysis and visualization.

Ribosome profiling (Ribo-Seq) has revolutionised our understanding of translation, but the increasing complexity and volume of Ribo-Seq data present challenges for its reuse. Here, we formally introduce RiboSeq.Org, an integrated suite of resources designed to facilitate Ribo-Seq data analysis and visualisation within a web browser.

Translation Complex Profile Sequencing Allows Discrimination of Leaky Scanning and Reinitiation in Upstream Open Reading Frame-controlled Translation.

Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are a class of translated regions (translons) in mRNA 5' leaders. uORFs are believed to be pervasive regulators of the translation of mammalian mRNAs. Some uORFs are highly repressive but others have little or no impact on downstream mRNA translation either due to inefficient recognition of their start codon(s) or/and due to efficient reinitiation after uORF translation.
