A Hexameric Ribozyme Nanostructure Formed by Double-Decker Assembly of a Pair of Triangular Ribozyme Trimers

Kai Yu et al.

Summary: Naturally occurring ribozymes with modular architecture are promising for designing and assembling three-dimensional RNA nanostructures with catalytic abilities. In this study, RNA nanostructures with polygonal-shaped ribozyme oligomers were constructed using unit RNAs from the Tetrahymena group I intron, and ribozyme trimers with a triangular shape were dimerized by introducing pillar units. The resulting double-decker nanostructures containing six ribozyme units showed higher catalytic activity than the parent ribozyme trimers.

Long noncoding RNA and phase separation in cellular stress response

Rena Onoguchi-Mizutani et al.

Summary: RNP condensates formed through liquid-liquid phase separation are important for regulating stress response. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in nucleating phase-separated RNP condensates due to their unique structure and length, making them potential regulators of biological condensates under stress.

Sub-3-Å cryo-EM structure of RNA enabled by engineered homomeric self-assembly

Di Liu et al.

Summary: This study presents a nanoarchitectural engineering strategy, called ROCK, which enables efficient structural determination of RNA using cryo-EM. By installing kissing-loop sequences onto RNAs, ROCK allows for better self-assembly and higher resolution reconstruction. The application of ROCK to different RNA structures demonstrates its potential in enabling high-quality cryo-EM studies.

Flexible Assembly of Engineered Tetrahymena Ribozymes Forming Polygonal RNA Nanostructures with Catalytic Ability

Yuki Mori et al.

Summary: Ribozymes with modular architecture have been designed, forming closed trimers and closed tetramers based on assembly of unit RNAs (L-RNAs). By tuning their structural elements, closed pentamers and closed hexamers were further extended, with their assembly properties analyzed using electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Cryo-EM structures of full-length Tetrahymena ribozyme at 3.1 Å resolution

Zhaoming Su et al.

Summary: This study presents cryo-EM structures of the Tetrahymena ribozyme in substrate-free and bound states, revealing new peripheral helical structures and kissing loop pseudoknots. The global architecture is nearly identical, with significant conformational changes and localized shifts in the internal guide sequence and guanosine binding site upon RNA substrate binding. These results provide a long-sought structural view of a paradigmatic RNA enzyme and signal a new era for cryo-EM-based study of structure-function relationships in ribozymes.
