The interferon-inducing activity of the double-stranded complex poly(A) - poly(U) in primary rabbit kidney cell cultures is reduced when the cells are treated with poly(dUfl) either 1 h before, simultaneously with, or 1 h after the exposure to the double-stranded complex. It has been demonstrated in experiments involving sensitivity to hydrolysis by RNAase, UV absorbance-mixing curves, and UV absorbance-temperature profiles that this phenomenon is due to the formation of the triple-stranded complex poly(A) - poly(U) - poly(dUfl). The latter complex seems to be the principal product of interactions in the following systems: poly(A) - poly(U) + poly(dUfl); poly(A) - poly(dUfl) + poly(U); and poly(A) + poly(U) + poly (dUfl).

This study focused on the efficient post-transcriptional incorporation of a modified nucleoside at the end of the poly-A tail of mRNA. The modified mRNA was obtained in high yield and served to enhance protein expression. Utilizing poly-U polymerase, our method successfully enabled a single 2'OMeU residue to be incorporated into mRNA, which unexpectedly provided significant stabilization, even with only a single incorporation, to enhance the resistance of mRNA to degradation by cellular exonuclease.

Conformational dynamics of RNA plays important roles in a variety of cellular functions such as transcriptional regulation, catalysis, scaffolding, and sensing. Recently, RNAs with low-complexity sequences have been shown to phase separate and form condensate phases similar to lowcomplexity protein domains. The affinity for phase separation and the material characteristics of RNA condensates are strongly dependent on sequence composition and patterning.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers employed various scattering techniques (SAXS and SANS) along with dynamic light scattering and cryo-TEM to analyze the structural characteristics of LNPs during and after the formulation process.
- * The findings revealed that LNP structure changes during mixing and stabilizes during dialysis, with stability affected by the type of nucleic acids used, showing that polyU led to greater particle aggregation compared to polyA and DNA.

Article Synopsis
- * Using various surface techniques, the research examines how pH levels and the proportion of CIL (specifically DLin-MC3-DMA) influence the absorption behavior of different NAs like mRNA, polyadenylic acid, and polyuridylic acid.
- * Results show that lower pH and higher CIL concentrations increase the amount of NAs absorbed, but the structural changes in the lipid layer and the behavior of each NA depend significantly on their secondary structures.
