Using T7 RNA polymerase and specific constructs derived from 5S rRNA and RNA I genes, we generated substrates for the RNA processing enzyme RNase E. Using these substrates we have shown that a 3.2 kb DNA fragment that complements the rne-3071 mutation can express RNase E activity. We also found that T7 RNA polymerase terminates within the 5S rRNA gene.

T7 RNA polymerase (RNAP) has enabled orthogonal control of gene expression and recombinant protein production across diverse prokaryotic host chassis organisms for decades. However, the absence of 5' methyl guanosine caps on T7 RNAP-derived transcripts has severely limited its utility and widespread adoption in eukaryotic systems. To address this shortcoming, we evolved a fusion enzyme combining T7 RNAP with the single subunit capping enzyme from African swine fever virus using .

Introduction: Micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that modulate the expression of various genes. They have an important role in cancer pathogenesis. Differential expression of multiple miRNAs have been used as potential diagnostic and prognostic markers.

Chromatin and transcription regulators are critical to defining cell identity through shaping epigenetic and transcriptional landscapes, with their misregulation being closely linked to oncogenesis. Pharmacologically targeting these regulators, particularly the transcription-activating BET proteins, has emerged as a promising approach in cancer therapy, yet intrinsic or acquired resistance frequently occurs, with poorly understood mechanisms. Here, using genome-wide CRISPR screens, we find that BET inhibitor efficacy in mediating transcriptional silencing and growth inhibition depends on the auxiliary/arm/tail module of the Integrator-PP2A complex (INTAC), a global regulator of RNA polymerase II pause-release dynamics.

Background: The neutrophil-mediated generation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) results in an augmented inflammatory response and cellular tissue injury during acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Through the analysis of public database information, we discovered and confirmed putative critical genes involved in NETs-mediated AMI.
Methods: The AMI dataset GSE66360 and the single-cell dataset GSE163465 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.

Introduction: Interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) modulates γ-secretase in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Although IFITM3 knockout reduces amyloid β protein (Aβ) production, its cell-specific effect on AD remains unclear.
Methods: Single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) was used to assess IFITM3 expression.
