Viroids and Retrozymes: Plant Circular RNAs Capable of Autonomous Replication by Alexander A. Lezzhov, Anastasia K. Atabekova, Denis A. Chergintsev, Ekaterina A. Lazareva, Andrey G. Solovyev, Sergey Y. Morozov

“…The most studied regulatory mechanisms involving circRNAs are acting as miRNA sponges, forming R-loops with genomic DNA, and encoding functional proteins. In addition to circRNAs generated by back-splicing, two types of circRNAs capable of autonomous RNA-RNA replication and systemic transport have been described in plants: viroids, which are infectious RNAs that cause a number of plant diseases, and retrozymes, which are transcripts of retrotransposon genomic loci that are capable of circularization due to ribozymes. …”

Efficacy of CLT4A variants as immunoregulatory molecules among Vitiligo patients in Saudi Arabia by Amal F. Alshammary, Ghada BinSaif, Imran Ali Khan

“…The recruitment was based on the sample size calculation and based on it, we have recruited 300 Saudi individuals who were evenly divided into vitiligo cases and controls. Extracted genomic DNA was utilized to amplify rs231775 and rs3087243 SNPs in the CTLA4 gene, which were subsequently digested and verified using Sanger sequencing. …”

Inhibitory Substances Produced by Native Lactobacillus plantarum UTNCys5-4 Control Microbial Population Growth in Meat by Gabriela N. Tenea, Juan Martin Guaña

“…The Cys5-4 peptides exerted their bacteriolytic mode of action inducing damage in the cell membrane of the target bacteria, allowing the leaching of DNA/RNA content. The results indicate that coating meat with CFS containing Cys5-4 is a promising approach to protect against further contamination by microorganism spoilage, as well as an alternative for increasing the shelf life of raw meat.…”
