A built-in “hairpin” prevents rogue CRISPR RNAs

A research team at HIRI discovered that CRISPR-Cas13 systems produce an RNA-based 'hairpin' structure to prevent the formation of waste RNAs, known as ecrRNAs. This mechanism optimizes the system's interaction and enhances its efficacy in immune defense and gene editing.

Uncovering the structural and regulatory mechanisms underlying translation arrest

Two previously unknown ribosome-arresting peptides (RAPs), PepNL and NanCL, were identified in E. coli, inducing translation arrest through a unique mini-hairpin conformation in the exit tunnel of the ribosome. This discovery provides valuable insights into deciphering the hidden genetic codes within polypeptide sequences.
