Sun Y, Woodson S
Nucleic Acids Res . 2025 Feb; 53(4). PMID: 39988318
Ribosome synthesis in bacteria is coupled with transcription of the pre-ribosomal RNA (pre-rRNA), which must fold and assemble with 20 or more ribosomal proteins. In vitro, the Escherichia coli pre-16S...

OBrien B, Moulick R, Jimenez-Avalos G, Rajasekaran N, Kaiser C, Woodson S
Nat Commun . 2024 Oct; 15(1):8738. PMID: 39384800
In Huntington's Disease (HD) and related disorders, expansion of CAG trinucleotide repeats produces a toxic gain of function in affected neurons. Expanded huntingtin (expHTT) mRNA forms aggregates that sequester essential...

Yu L, White E, Woodson S
Nucleic Acids Res . 2024 Sep; 52(21):13340-13350. PMID: 39319588
Like other functional RNAs, ribozymes encode a conserved catalytic center supported by peripheral domains that vary among ribozyme sub-families. To understand how core-periphery interactions contribute to ribozyme fitness, we compared...

Malecka E, Woodson S
Nat Commun . 2024 Mar; 15(1):2069. PMID: 38453956
RNA-guided enzymes must quickly search a vast sequence space for their targets. This search is aided by chaperones such as Hfq, a protein that mediates regulation by bacterial small RNAs...

Hao Y, Hulscher R, Zinshteyn B, Woodson S
bioRxiv . 2024 Jan; PMID: 38260533
The production of new ribosomes requires proper folding of the rRNA and the addition of more than 50 ribosomal proteins. The structures of some assembly intermediates have been determined by...

Lou Y, Woodson S
Nucleic Acids Res . 2023 Nov; 52(2):872-884. PMID: 38000388
The glmS ribozyme riboswitch, located in the 5' untranslated region of the Bacillus subtilis glmS messenger RNA (mRNA), regulates cell wall biosynthesis through ligand-induced self-cleavage and decay of the glmS...

Rodgers M, Sun Y, Woodson S
Biomolecules . 2023 Jun; 13(6). PMID: 37371531
Ribosomal subunits begin assembly during transcription of the ribosomal RNA (rRNA), when the rRNA begins to fold and associate with ribosomal proteins (RPs). In bacteria, the first steps of ribosome...

Rodgers M, OBrien B, Woodson S
Mol Cell . 2023 Apr; 83(9):1489-1501.e5. PMID: 37116495
Small ribonucleoproteins (sRNPs) target nascent precursor RNAs to guide folding, modification, and splicing during transcription. Yet, rapid co-transcriptional folding of the RNA can mask sRNP sites, impeding target recognition and...

Sarni S, Roca J, Du C, Jia M, Li H, Damjanovic A, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 Nov; 119(47):e2208780119. PMID: 36375072
RNA-binding proteins contain intrinsically disordered regions whose functions in RNA recognition are poorly understood. The RNA chaperone Hfq is a homohexamer that contains six flexible C-terminal domains (CTDs). The effect...
