Article Abstract
Four types of beta-carboline-nucleoside conjugates were synthesized. The binding affinities of these beta-carboline-nucleoside conjugates , and to TAR RNA were evaluated by affinity capillary electrophoresis. The data of binding affinities to TAR RNA show that conjugates and are stronger binders than the parent compound . Computer modeling indicates that the beta-carboline-nucleoside conjugate can fit to the UCU three-nucleotide bulge region of TAR RNA.

Abnormal accumulation of TAR DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP-43) is a hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting TDP-43 offer potential therapeutic strategies for these diseases. However, efficient and safe delivery of siRNAs to the central nervous system (CNS) remains a critical challenge.

Progranulin-deficient frontotemporal dementia (GRN-FTD) is a major cause of familial FTD with TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology, which is linked to exon dysregulation. However, little is known about this dysregulation in glial and neuronal cells. Here, using splice-junction-covering enrichment probes, we introduce single-nuclei long-read RNA sequencing 2 (SnISOr-Seq2), targeting 3,630 high-interest genes without loss of precision, and complete the first single-cell, long-read-resolved case-control study for neurodegeneration.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), an Arteriviridae family enveloped RNA virus, is a major swine pathogen. Using yeast transformation-associated recombination (TAR) cloning, we efficiently generated infectious PRRSV and GFP-expressing clones, identifying transcription-regulating sequences as essential for stable foreign gene expression. Screening SARS-CoV-2 antivirals showed potent inhibition by the multitarget drug ribavirin, the polymerase inhibitors remdesivir and its metabolite GS-441524.

Human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) is an endemic "common cold" coronavirus widely used to study fundamental aspects of coronavirus biology and to test therapeutic interventions. Recently, we used a yeast-based reverse genetics strategy to create recombinant HCoV-OC43 and fluorescent reporter viruses. We assembled a DNA copy of the HCoV-OC43 genome from six linear dsDNA fragments and a linearized yeast centromeric plasmid/bacterial artificial chromosome (YCpBAC) vector in using transformation-associated recombination (TAR).

HIV-1 latency remains a major barrier to viral eradication, and the mechanisms underlying the maintenance of proviral transcriptional silencing are not yet fully understood. Argonaute (Ago) proteins are well known for their roles in post-transcriptional gene silencing through microRNA-mediated pathways, but their involvement in transcriptional regulation, particularly in the context of HIV-1 infection, remains poorly characterized. Here, we demonstrate that Ago1 represses HIV-1 promoter activity across diverse latency models, independently of microRNA biogenesis pathways.
