J Biol Chem . 2024 Feb; 300(3):105733. PMID: 38336291
RNA Binding Proteins regulate, in part, alternative pre-mRNA splicing and, in turn, gene expression patterns. Polypyrimidine tract binding proteins PTBP1 and PTBP2 are paralogous RNA binding proteins sharing 74% amino...

Martinez A, Espinosa B, Adamek R, Thomas B, Chau J, Gonzalez E, et al.
Eur J Med Chem . 2018 Sep; 157:1202-1213. PMID: 30193218
The West Nile virus (WNV) has spread throughout the world causing neuroinvasive diseases with no treatments available. The viral NS2B-NS3 protease is essential for WNV survival and replication in host...

Keppetipola N, Sharma S, Li Q, Black D
Crit Rev Biochem Mol Biol . 2012 Jun; 47(4):360-78. PMID: 22655688
Alternative splicing patterns are regulated by RNA binding proteins that assemble onto each pre-mRNA to form a complex RNP structure. The polypyrimidine tract binding protein, PTB, has served as an...

Keppetipola N, Jain R, Meineke B, Diver M, Shuman S
RNA . 2009 Apr; 15(6):1036-44. PMID: 19383764
tRNA anticodon damage inflicted by secreted ribotoxins such as Kluyveromyces lactis gamma-toxin and bacterial colicins underlies a rudimentary innate immune system that distinguishes self from nonself species. The intracellular expression...

Keppetipola N, Shuman S
J Biol Chem . 2008 Sep; 283(45):30942-9. PMID: 18757371
Binuclear metallophosphoesterases are an enzyme superfamily defined by a shared fold and a conserved active site. Although many family members have been characterized biochemically or structurally, the physiological substrates are...

Keppetipola N, Shuman S
Nucleic Acids Res . 2007 Nov; 35(22):7721-32. PMID: 17986465
Clostridium thermocellum polynucleotide kinase-phosphatase (CthPnkp) catalyzes 5' and 3' end-healing reactions that prepare broken RNA termini for sealing by RNA ligase. The central phosphatase domain of CthPnkp belongs to the...

Nucleic Acids Res . 2007 May; 35(11):3624-30. PMID: 17488852
Programmed RNA breakage is an emerging theme underlying cellular responses to stress, virus infection and defense against foreign species. In many cases, site-specific cleavage of the target RNA generates 2',3'...
