    • Discovery of a novel gene, involved in the conversion of 2-thiouracil into uracil 

      Aučynaitė, Agota; Rutkienė, Rasa; Meškys, Rolandas; Urbonavičius, Jaunius (FEBS Journal, 2016)
      Modified nucleotides are present in many RNA species in all Domains of Life. The biosynthetic pathways of such nucleotides are well studied. However, much less is known about the degradation of RNAs and the salvage of ...
    • Discovery of bacterial genes encoding isocytosine deaminases 

      Tauraitė, Daiva; Aučynaitė, Agota; Rutkienė, Rasa; Meškys, Rolandas; Urbonavičius, Jaunius (FEBS Journal, 2016)
      Modified nucleotides are present in almost all classes of RNA. They have great chemical diversity and are critical for RNA folding, stability, interaction with cellular proteins and thereby for various cellular processes ...
    • Does yeast virus possess specificity towards replication of satellite virus? 

      Konovalovas, Aleksandras; Survilaitė, M.; Servienė, Elena; Serva, Saulius (FEBS Journal, 2016)
      Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been a key experimental organism for the study of infectious diseases, including double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses. The L-A dsRNA virus family of S. cerevisiae is widely distributed in nature. ...
