Authors Bhatta A, Hillen HS Journal Trends in Biochemical Sciences Citation Trends Biochem Sci. 2022 Jun 18:S0968-0004(22)00139-6. Abstract Ribonuclease P (RNase P) enzymes are responsible for the 5′ processing of tRNA precursors. In addition to the well-characterised ribozyme-based RNase P enzymes, an evolutionarily distinct group of protein-only RNase Ps exists.

Authors Lavdovskaia E, Hillen HS, Richter-Dennerlein R Journal Trends in Cell Biology Citation Trends Cell Biol. 2021. Abstract Final maturation steps during ribo-some biogenesis require the assis-tance of assembly and qualitycontrol factors to ensure the foldingof rRNA and proteins into a func-tional translation machinery. Herewe integrate several recent struc-tural snapshots

Authors Bhatta A, Dienemann C, Cramer P, Hillen HS Journal Nature Structural and Molecular Biology Citation Nat Struct Mol Biol (2021). Abstract Human mitochondrial transcripts contain messenger and ribosomal RNAs flanked by transfer RNAs (tRNAs), which are excised by mitochondrial RNase (mtRNase) P and Z to liberate all RNA species.

Authors Jochheim FA, Tegunov D, Hillen HS, Schmitzova J, Kokic G, Dienemann C, Cramer P Journal Communications Biology Citation Commun Biol. 2021 Aug 24;4(1):999. Abstract The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 uses an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) to replicate and transcribe its genome. Previous structures of the RdRp revealed a monomeric enzyme composed

Authors Kabinger F, Stiller C, Schmitzová J, Dienemann C, Kokic G, Hillen HS, Höbartner C, Cramer P Journal Nature Structural & Molecular Biology Citation Nat Struct Mol Biol (2021). 2021 Aug 11. Abstract Molnupiravir is an orally available antiviral drug candidate currently in phase III trials for the treatment of

Authors Hillen HS, Lavdovskaia E, Nadler F, Hanitsch E, Linden A, Bohnsack KE, Urlaub H, Richter-Dennerlein R Journal Nature Communications Citation Nat Commun. 2021 Jun 16;12(1):3672. Abstract Ribosome biogenesis requires auxiliary factors to promote folding and assembly of ribosomal proteins and RNA. Particularly, maturation of the peptidyl transferase center (PTC)

Authors Hillen HS Journal Current Opinion in Virology Citation Current Opinion in Virology 2021, 48:82–90. Abstract Coronaviruses use an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) to replicate and express their genome. The RdRp associates with additional non-structural proteins (nsps) to form a replication-transcription complex (RTC) that carries out RNA synthesis, capping and
