abstract = {Many RNA architectures were discovered to be involved in a wide range of essential biological processes in all organisms from carrying genetic information to gene expression regulation. The remarkable ability of RNAs to adopt various architectures depending on their environment enables the achievement of their myriads of biological functions. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a powerful technique to investigate both their structure and dynamics. NMR is also a key tool for studying interactions between RNAs and their numerous partners such as small molecules, ions, proteins, or other nucleic acids.In this chapter, to illustrate the use of NMR for 3D structure determination of small noncoding RNA, we describe detailed methods that we used for the yeast C/D box small nucleolar RNA U14 from sample preparation to 3D structure calculation.},

abstract = {Bacteria, including those that are pathogenic, have been generally classified according to their ability to survive and grow in the presence or absence of oxygen: aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, respectively. Strict aerobes require oxygen to grow (e.g. Neisseria), and strict anaerobes grow exclusively without, and do not survive oxygen exposure (e.g. Clostridia); aerotolerant bacteria (e.g. Lactobacilli) are insensitive to oxygen exposure. Facultative anaerobes (e.g. E. coli) have the unique ability to grow in the presence or in the absence of oxygen. and are thus well-adapted to these changing conditions which may constitute an underestimated selective advantage for infection. In the WHO antibiotic-resistant "priority pathogens" list, facultative anaerobes are overrepresented (8 among 12 listed pathogens), consistent with clinical studies performed in populations particularly susceptible to infectious diseases. Bacteria aerobic respiratory chain plays a central role in oxygen consumption, leading to the formation of hypoxic infectious sites (infectious hypoxia). Facultative anaerobes have developed a wide diversity of aerotolerance and anaerotolerance strategies in vivo. However, at a single cell level, the modulation of the intracellular oxygen level in host infected cells remains elusive and will be discussed in this review. In conclusion, the ability of facultative bacteria to evolve in the presence or the absence of oxygen is essential for their virulence strategy and constitute a selective advantage.

abstract = {The preparation of well diffracting crystals and their handling before their X-ray analysis are two critical steps of biocrystallographic studies. We describe a versatile microfluidic chip that enables the production of crystals by the efficient method of counter-diffusion. The convection-free environment provided by the microfluidic channels is ideal for crystal growth and useful to diffuse a substrate into the active site of the crystalline enzyme. Here we applied this approach to the CCA-adding enzyme of the psychrophilic bacterium Planococcus halocryophilus in the presented example. After crystallization and substrate diffusion/soaking, the crystal structure of the enzyme:substrate complex was determined at room temperature by serial crystallography and the analysis of multiple crystals directly inside the chip. The whole procedure preserves the genuine diffraction properties of the samples because it requires no crystal handling.},

abstract = {Neutrophils are the most abundant circulating white blood cells and are the central players of the innate immune response. During their lifecycle, neutrophils mainly evolve under low oxygen conditions (0.1-4% O2), to which they are well adapted. Neutrophils are atypical cells since they are highly glycolytic, and susceptible to oxygen exposure, which induces their activation and death, through mechanisms, which remain currently elusive. Nevertheless, nearly all studies conducted on neutrophils are carried out under atmospheric oxygen (21%), corresponding to hyperoxia. Here, we investigated the impact of hyperoxia during neutrophil purification and culture on neutrophil viability, activation and cytosolic protein content. We demonstrate that neutrophil hyper-activation (CD62L shedding) is induced during culture under hyperoxic conditions (24 h), compared to neutrophils cultured under anoxic conditions. Spontaneous neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation is observed when neutrophils face hyperoxia during purification or culture. In addition, we show that maintaining neutrophils in autologous plasma is the preferred strategy to maintain their basal state. Our results show that manipulating neutrophils under hyperoxic conditions leads to the loss of 57 cytosolic proteins during purification, while it does not lead to an immediate impact on neutrophil activation (CD11b(high), CD54(high), CD62L(neg)) or viability (DAPI(+)). We identified two clusters of proteins belonging to the cholesterol metabolism and to the complement and coagulation cascade pathways, which are highly susceptible to neutrophil oxygen exposure during neutrophil purification. In conclusion, protecting neutrophil from oxygen during their purification and culture is recommended to avoid activation and prevent the alteration cytosolic protein composition.},

abstract = {Biophysical quantification of protein interactions is central to unveil the molecular mechanisms of cellular processes. Researchers can choose from a wide panel of biophysical methods that quantify molecular interactions in different ways, including both classical and more novel techniques. We report the outcome of an ARBRE-MOBIEU training school held in June 2019 in Gif-sur-Yvette, France (https://mosbio.sciencesconf.org/). Twenty European students benefited from a week's training with theoretical and practical sessions in six complementary approaches: (1) analytical ultracentrifugation with or without a fluorescence detector system (AUC-FDS), (2) isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), (3) size exclusion chromatography coupled to multi-angle light scattering (SEC-MALS), (4) bio-layer interferometry (BLI), (5) microscale thermophoresis (MST) and, (6) switchSENSE. They implemented all these methods on two examples of macromolecular interactions with nanomolar affinity: first, a protein-protein interaction between an artificial alphaRep binder, and its target protein, also an alphaRep; second, a protein-DNA interaction between a DNA repair complex, Ku70/Ku80 (hereafter called Ku), and its cognate DNA ligand. We report the approaches used to analyze the two systems under study and thereby showcase application of each of the six techniques. The workshop provided students with improved understanding of the advantages and limitations of different methods, enabling future choices concerning approaches that are most relevant or informative for specific kinds of sample and interaction.},

Chemical probing is a method that enables the characterization of RNA secondary structures using chemical reagents that specifically modify RNA nucleotides that are located in single-stranded areas. In our protocol, we used Dimethyl Sulfate (DMS) and Cyclohexyl-3-(2-Morpholinoethyl) Carbodiimide metho-p-Toluene sulfonate (CMCT) that are both base-specific modifying reagents (Behm-Ansmant I, et al. J Nucleic Acids 2011:408053, 2011). These modifications are mapped by primer extension arrests using 5' fluorescently labeled primers. In this protocol, we show a comprehensive method to identify RNA secondary structures in vitro using fluorescently labeled oligos. To demonstrate the efficiency of the method, we give an example of a structure we have designed which corresponds to a part of the 5'-UTR regulatory element called Translation Inhibitory Element (TIE) from Hox a3 mRNA (Xue S, et al.

abstract = {For a long time, artificial RNAs have been developed by in vitro selection methodologies like Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment (SELEX). Yet, even though this technology is extremely powerful to isolate specific and high-affinity binders, it is less suited for the isolation of RNAs optimized for more complex functions such as fluorescence emission or multiple-turnover catalysis. Whereas such RNAs should ideally be developed by screening approaches, conventional microtiter plate assays become rapidly cost-prohibitive. However, the advent of droplet-based microfluidics recently enabled us to devise microfluidic-assisted In Vitro Compartmentalization (muIVC), a strongly miniaturized and highly parallelized screening technology allowing to functionally screen millions of mutants in a single day while using a very low amount of reagent. Used in combination with high-throughput sequencing, the resulting muIVC-seq pipeline described in this chapter now allows rapid and semiautomated screening to be performed at low cost and in an ultrahigh-throughput regime.},

abstract = {Multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii shows a growing number of nosocomial infections worldwide during the last decade. The outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) produced by this bacterium draw increasing attention as a possible treatment target. OMVs have been implicated in the reduction of antibiotic level in the surrounding environment, transfer of virulence factors into the host cells, and induction of inflammatory response. Although the evidence on the involvement of OMVs in A. baumannii pathogenesis is currently growing, their role during inflammation is insufficiently explored. It is likely that bacteria, by secreting OMVs, can expand the area of their exposure and prepare surrounding matrix for infection. Here, we investigated the impact of A. baumannii OMVs on activation of macrophages in vitro. We show that OmpA protein present in A. baumannii OMVs substantially contributes to the proinflammatory response in J774 murine macrophages and to the cell death in both lung epithelium cells and macrophages. The loss of OmpA protein in OMVs, obtained from A. baumannii ompA mutant, resulted in the altered expression of genes coding for IL-6, NLRP3 and IL-1beta proinflammatory molecules in macrophages in vitro. These results imply that OmpA protein in bacterial OMVs could trigger a more intense proinflammatory response.},

abstract = {Deazapurine nucleosides such as 3-deazaadenosine (c3A) are crucial for atomic mutagenesis studies of functional RNAs. They were the key for our current mechanistic understanding of ribosomal peptide bond formation and of phosphodiester cleavage in recently discovered small ribozymes, such as twister and pistol RNAs. Here, we present a comprehensive study on the impact of c3A and the thus far underinvestigated 3-deazaguanosine (c3G) on RNA properties. We found that these nucleosides can decrease thermodynamic stability of base pairing to a significant extent. The effects are much more pronounced for 3-deazapurine nucleosides compared to their constitutional isomers of 7-deazapurine nucleosides (c7G, c7A). We furthermore investigated base pair opening dynamics by solution NMR spectroscopy and revealed significantly enhanced imino proton exchange rates. Additionally, we solved the X-ray structure of a c3A-modified RNA and visualized the hydration pattern of the minor groove. Importantly, the characteristic water molecule that is hydrogen-bonded to the purine N3 atom and always observed in a natural double helix is lacking in the 3-deazapurine-modified counterpart. Both, the findings by NMR and X-ray crystallographic methods hence provide a rationale for the reduced pairing strength. Taken together, our comparative study is a first major step towards a comprehensive understanding of this important class of nucleoside modifications.},

abstract = {Translation initiation, in both eukaryotes and bacteria, requires essential elements such as mRNA, ribosome, initiator tRNA, and a set of initiation factors. For each domain of life, canonical mechanisms and signals are observed to initiate protein synthesis. However, other initiation mechanism can be used, especially in viral mRNAs. Some viruses hijack cellular machinery to translate some of their mRNAs through a noncanonical initiation pathway using internal ribosome entry site (IRES), a highly structured RNAs which can directly recruit the ribosome with a restricted set of initiation factors, and in some cases even without cap and initiator tRNA. In this chapter, we describe the use of biosensors relying on electro-switchable nanolevers using the switchSENSE((R)) technology, to investigate kinetics of the intergenic (IGR) IRES of the cricket paralysis virus (CrPV) binding to 80S yeast ribosome. This study provides a proof of concept for the application of this method on large complexes.},

abstract = {The first step of the intracellular phase of retroviral infection is the release of the viral capsid core in the cytoplasm. This structure contains the viral genetic material that will be reverse transcribed and integrated into the genome of infected cells. Up to recent times, the role of the capsid core was considered essentially to protect this genetic material during the earlier phases of this process. However, increasing evidence demonstrates that the permanence inside the cell of the capsid as an intact, or almost intact, structure is longer than thought. This suggests its involvement in more aspects of the infectious cycle than previously foreseen, particularly in the steps of viral genomic material translocation into the nucleus and in the phases preceding integration. During the trip across the infected cell, many host factors are brought to interact with the capsid, some possessing antiviral properties, others, serving as viral cofactors. All these interactions rely on the properties of the unique component of the capsid core, the capsid protein CA. Likely, the drawback of ensuring these multiple functions is the extreme genetic fragility that has been shown to characterize this protein. Here, we recapitulate the busy agenda of an HIV-1 capsid in the infectious process, in particular in the light of the most recent findings.},

abstract = {A small-scale ITC benchmarking study was performed involving 9 biophysics laboratories/facilities, to evaluate inter-laboratory and intra-laboratory basal levels of uncertainty. Our prime goal was to assess a number of important factors that can influence both the data gathered by this technique and the thermodynamic parameter values derived therefrom. In its first part, the study involved 5 laboratories and 13 different instruments, working with centrally prepared samples and the same experimental protocol. The second part involved 4 additional laboratories and 6 more instruments, where the users prepared their own samples according to provided instructions and did the experiments following the same protocol as in the first part. The study design comprised: (1) selecting a minimal set of laboratories; (2) providing very stable samples; (3) providing samples not requiring preparation or manipulation; and (4) providing a well-defined and detailed experimental protocol. Thus, we were able to assess: (i) the variability due to instrument and data analysis performed by each user on centrally prepared samples; (ii) the comparability of data retrieved when using 4 different software packages to analyze the same data, besides the data analysis carried out by the different users on their own experimental results; and (iii) the variability due to local sample preparation (second part of the study). Individual values, as well as averages and standard deviations for the binding parameters for EDTA-cation interaction, were used as metrics for comparing the equilibrium association constant (logK), enthalpy of interaction (DeltaH), and the so-called "stoichiometry" (n), a concentration-correction factor.},

abstract = {The function of an RNA is intimately linked to its three-dimensional structure. X-ray crystallography or NMR allow the fine structural characterization of small RNA (e.g., aptamers) with a precision down to atomic resolution. Yet, these technics are time consuming, laborious and do not inform on mutational robustness and the extent to which a sequence can be modified without altering RNA function, an important set of information to assist RNA engineering. On another hand, thought powerful, in silico predictions still lack the required accuracy. These limitations can be overcome by using high-throughput microfluidic-assisted functional screening technologies, as they allow exploring large mutant libraries in a rapid and cost-effective manner. Among them, we recently introduced the microfluidic-assisted In Vitro Compartmentalization (microIVC), an efficient screening strategy in which reactions are performed in picoliter droplets at rates of several thousand per second. We later improved microIVC efficiency by using in tandem with high throughput sequencing, thought a laborious bioinformatic step was still required at the end of the process. In the present work, we strongly increased the automation level of the pipeline by implementing an artificial neural network enabling unsupervised bioinformatic analysis. We demonstrate the efficiency of this "microIVC-Useq" technology by rapidly identifying a set of sequences readily accepted by a key domain of the light-up RNA aptamer SRB-2. This work not only shed some new light on the way this aptamer can be engineered, but it also allowed us to easily identify new variants with an up-to 10-fold improved performance.},

abstract = {The antiviral innate immune response mainly involves type I interferon (IFN) in mammalian cells. The contribution of the RNA silencing machinery remains to be established, but several recent studies indicate that the ribonuclease DICER can generate viral siRNAs in specific conditions. It has also been proposed that type I IFN and RNA silencing could be mutually exclusive antiviral responses. In order to decipher the implication of DICER during infection of human cells with alphaviruses such as the Sindbis virus and Semliki forest virus, we determined its interactome by proteomics analysis. We show that DICER specifically interacts with several double-stranded RNA binding proteins and RNA helicases during viral infection. In particular, proteins such as DHX9, ADAR-1 and the protein kinase RNA-activated (PKR) are enriched with DICER in virus-infected cells. We demonstrate that the helicase domain of DICER is essential for this interaction and that its deletion confers antiviral properties to this protein in an RNAi-independent, PKR-dependent, manner.},

abstract = {During embryogenesis, Hox mRNA translation is tightly regulated by a sophisticated molecular mechanism that combines two RNA regulons located in their 5'UTR. First, an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) enables cap-independent translation. The second regulon is a translation inhibitory element or TIE, which ensures concomitant cap-dependent translation inhibition. In this study, we deciphered the molecular mechanisms of mouse Hoxa3 and Hoxa11 TIEs. Both TIEs possess an upstream open reading frame (uORF) that is critical to inhibit cap-dependent translation. However, the molecular mechanisms used are different. In Hoxa3 TIE, we identify an uORF which inhibits cap-dependent translation and we show the requirement of the non-canonical initiation factor eIF2D for this process. The mode of action of Hoxa11 TIE is different, it also contains an uORF but it is a minimal uORF formed by an uAUG followed immediately by a stop codon, namely a 'start-stop'. The 'start-stop' sequence is species-specific and in mice, is located upstream of a highly stable stem loop structure which stalls the 80S ribosome and thereby inhibits cap-dependent translation of Hoxa11 main ORF.},

abstract = {Post-transcriptional modification of tRNA wobble adenosine into inosine is crucial for decoding multiple mRNA codons by a single tRNA. The eukaryotic wobble adenosine-to-inosine modification is catalysed by the ADAT (ADAT2/ADAT3) complex that modifies up to eight tRNAs, requiring a full tRNA for activity. Yet, ADAT catalytic mechanism and its implication in neurodevelopmental disorders remain poorly understood. Here, we have characterized mouse ADAT and provide the molecular basis for tRNAs deamination by ADAT2 as well as ADAT3 inactivation by loss of catalytic and tRNA-binding determinants. We show that tRNA binding and deamination can vary depending on the cognate tRNA but absolutely rely on the eukaryote-specific ADAT3 N-terminal domain. This domain can rotate with respect to the ADAT catalytic domain to present and position the tRNA anticodon-stem-loop correctly in ADAT2 active site. A founder mutation in the ADAT3 N-terminal domain, which causes intellectual disability, does not affect tRNA binding despite the structural changes it induces but most likely hinders optimal presentation of the tRNA anticodon-stem-loop to ADAT2.},

abstract = {Two-component systems (TCSs) are ubiquitous signaling pathways, typically comprising a sensory histidine kinase (HK) and a response regulator, which communicate via intermolecular kinase-to-receiver domain phosphotransfer. Hybrid HKs constitute non-canonical TCS signaling pathways, with transmitter and receiver domains within a single protein communicating via intramolecular phosphotransfer. Here, we report how evolutionary relationships between hybrid HKs can be used as predictors of potential intermolecular and intramolecular interactions ('phylogenetic promiscuity'). We used domain-swap genes chimeras to investigate the specificity of phosphotransfer within hybrid HKs of the GacS-GacA multikinase network of Pseudomonas brassicacearum. The receiver domain of GacS was replaced with those from nine donor hybrid HKs. Three chimeras with receivers from other hybrid HKs demonstrated correct functioning through complementation of a gacS mutant, which was dependent on strains having a functional gacA. Formation of functional chimeras was predictable on the basis of evolutionary heritage, and raises the possibility that HKs sharing a common ancestor with GacS might remain components of the contemporary GacS network. The results also demonstrate that understanding the evolutionary heritage of signaling domains in sophisticated networks allows their rational rewiring by simple domain transplantation, with implications for the creation of designer networks and inference of functional interactions.},

abstract = {New RNA modifications are needed to advance our toolbox for targeted manipulation of RNA. In particular, the development of high-performance reporter groups facilitating spectroscopic analysis of RNA structure and dynamics, and of RNA-ligand interactions has attracted considerable interest. To this end, fluorine labeling in conjunction with (19)F-NMR spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful strategy. Appropriate probes for RNA previously focused on single fluorine atoms attached to the 5-position of pyrimidine nucleobases or at the ribose 2'-position. To increase NMR sensitivity, trifluoromethyl labeling approaches have been developed, with the ribose 2'-SCF3 modification being the most prominent one. A major drawback of the 2'-SCF3 group, however, is its strong impact on RNA base pairing stability. Interestingly, RNA containing the structurally related 2'-OCF3 modification has not yet been reported. Therefore, we set out to overcome the synthetic challenges toward 2'-OCF3 labeled RNA and to investigate the impact of this modification. We present the syntheses of 2'-OCF3 adenosine and cytidine phosphoramidites and their incorporation into oligoribonucleotides by solid-phase synthesis. Importantly, it turns out that the 2'-OCF3 group has only a slight destabilizing effect when located in double helical regions which is consistent with the preferential C3'-endo conformation of the 2'-OCF3 ribose as reflected in the (3) J (H1'-H2') coupling constants. Furthermore, we demonstrate the exceptionally high sensitivity of the new label in (19)F-NMR analysis of RNA structure equilibria and of RNA-small molecule interactions. The study is complemented by a crystal structure at 0.9 A resolution of a 27 nt hairpin RNA containing a single 2'-OCF3 group that well integrates into the minor groove. The new label carries high potential to outcompete currently applied fluorine labels for nucleic acid NMR spectroscopy because of its significantly advanced performance.},

Blood tests and stool analyses were performed in mothers at delivery, and their offspring at birth, 11 weeks and 25 weeks. Stool cultures were performed in specific growth media for Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli, Campylobacter, Enerobacter, Vibrio cholerae, Citrobacter and Klebsiella, as well as rotavirus, yeasts and parasitological exams. The median vitamin C levels in mothers at delivery were 15.3 mumol/L (inter-quartile-range [IQR] 6.2-27.8 mumol/L). In infants, the median vitamin C levels at birth were 35.2 mumol/L (IQR 16.5-63.9 mumol/L). At 11 and 25 weeks, the median vitamin C levels were 41.5 mumol/L (IQR 18.7-71.6 mumol/L) and 18.2 mumol/L (IQR 2.3-46.6 mumol/L), respectively. Hypovitaminosis C was defined as seric vitamin C levels <28 mumol/L and vitamin C deficiency was defined as vitamin C levels <11 mumol/L according to the WHO definition. In mothers, the prevalence of hypovitaminosis-C and vitamin C deficiency at delivery was 34/45 (75.6%) and 19/45 (42.2%), respectively. In infants, the prevalence of hypovitaminosis-C and vitamin C deficiency at 6 months was 18/33 (54.6%) and 11/33 (33.3%), respectively. Vitamin C levels in mothers and infants were correlated at birth (Spearman's rho = 0.5; P value = 0.002), and infants had significantly higher levels of vitamin C (median = 35.2 mumol/L; IQR 16.5-63.9 mumol/L), compared to mothers (median = 15.3 mumol/L; IQR 6.2-27.8 mumol/L; P value <0.001). The offspring of vitamin C-deficient mothers had significantly lower vitamin C levels at delivery (median = 18.7 mumol/L; IQR 13.3-30.7 mumol/L), compared to the offspring of non-deficient mothers (median = 62.2 mumol/L; IQR 34.6-89.2 mumol/L; P value <0.001).

abstract = {In most bacterial type A RNase P RNAs (P RNAs), two major loop-helix tertiary contacts (L8-P4 and L18-P8) help to orient the two independently folding S- and C-domains for concerted recognition of precursor tRNA substrates. Here, we analyze the effects of mutations in these tertiary contacts in P RNAs from three different species: (i) the psychrophilic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas translucida (Ptr), (ii) the mesophilic radiation-resistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans (Dra), and (iii) the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus (Tth). We show by UV melting experiments that simultaneous disruption of these two interdomain contacts has a stabilizing effect on all three P RNAs. This can be inferred from reduced RNA unfolding at lower temperatures and a more concerted unfolding at higher temperatures. Thus, when the two domains tightly interact via the tertiary contacts, one domain facilitates structural transitions in the other. P RNA mutants with disrupted interdomain contacts showed severe kinetic defects that were most pronounced upon simultaneous disruption of the L8-P4 and L18-P8 contacts. At 37 degrees C, the mildest effects were observed for the thermostable Tth RNA. A third interdomain contact, L9-P1, makes only a minor contribution to P RNA tertiary folding. Furthermore, D. radiodurans RNase P RNA forms an additional pseudoknot structure between the P9 and P12 of its S-domain. This interaction was found to be particularly crucial for RNase P holoenzyme activity at near-physiological Mg2+ concentrations (2 mM). We further analyzed an exceptionally stable folding trap of the G,C-rich Tth P RNA.},

abstract = {The success of the major opportunistic human Staphylococcus aureus relies on the production of numerous virulence factors, which allow rapid colonization and dissemination in any tissues. Indeed, regulation of its virulence is multifactorial, and based on the production of transcriptional factors, two-component systems (TCS) and small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs). Advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies have unveiled the existence of hundreds of potential RNAs with regulatory functions, but only a fraction of which have been validated in vivo. These discoveries have modified our thinking and understanding of bacterial physiology and virulence fitness by placing sRNAs, alongside transcriptional regulators, at the center of complex and intertwined regulatory networks that allow S. aureus to rapidly adapt to the environmental cues present at infection sites. In this review, we describe the recently acquired knowledge of characterized regulatory RNAs in S. aureus that are associated with metal starvation, nutrient availability, stress responses and virulence. These findings highlight the importance of sRNAs for the comprehension of S. aureus infection processes while raising questions about the interplay between these key regulators and the pathways they control.},

abstract = {Regulatory RNAs have emerged as ubiquitous gene regulators in all bacterial species studied to date. The combination of sequence-specific RNA interactions and malleable RNA structure has allowed regulatory RNA to adopt different mechanisms of gene regulation in a diversity of genetic backgrounds. In the model Gammaproteobacteria Escherichia coli and Salmonella, the regulatory RNA chaperone Hfq appears to play a global role in gene regulation, directly controlling approximately 20 to 25% of the entire transcriptome. While the model Firmicutes Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus encode a Hfq homologue, its role has been significantly depreciated. These bacteria also have marked differences in RNA turnover. E. coli and Salmonella degrade RNA through internal endonucleolytic and 3'-->5' exonucleolytic cleavage that appears to allow transient accumulation of mRNA 3' UTR cleavage fragments that contain stabilizing 3' structures. In contrast, B. subtilis and S. aureus are able to exonucleolytically attack internally cleaved RNA from both the 5' and 3' ends, efficiently degrading mRNA 3' UTR fragments. Here, we propose that the lack of 5'-->3' exoribonuclease activity in Gammaproteobacteria has allowed the accumulation of mRNA 3' UTR ends as the "default" setting. This in turn may have provided a larger pool of unconstrained RNA sequences that has fueled the expansion of Hfq function and small RNA (sRNA) regulation in E. coli and Salmonella. Conversely, the exoribonuclease RNase J may be a significant barrier to the evolution of 3' UTR sRNAs in B. subtilis and S. aureus that has limited the pool of RNA ligands available to Hfq and other sRNA chaperones, depreciating their function in these model Firmicutes.},

abstract = {In bacteria, trans-translation is the major quality control system for rescuing stalled ribosomes. It is mediated by tmRNA, a hybrid RNA with properties of both a tRNA and a mRNA, and the small protein SmpB. Because trans-translation is absent in eukaryotes but necessary for bacterial fitness or survival, it is a promising target for the development of novel antibiotics. To facilitate screening of chemical libraries, various reliable in vitro and in vivo systems have been created for assessing trans-translational activity. However, the aim of the current work was to permit the safe and easy in vitro evaluation of trans-translation from pathogenic bacteria, which are obviously the ones we should be targeting. Based on green fluorescent protein (GFP) reassembly during active trans-translation, we have created a cell-free assay adapted to the rapid evaluation of trans-translation in ESKAPE bacteria, with 24 different possible combinations. It can be used for easy high-throughput screening of chemical compounds as well as for exploring the mechanism of trans-translation in these pathogens.},

abstract = {Inaccurate expression of the genetic code, also known as mistranslation, is an emerging paradigm in microbial studies. Growing evidence suggests that many microbial pathogens can deliberately mistranslate their genetic code to help invade a host or evade host immune responses. However, discovering different capacities for deliberate mistranslation remains a challenge because each group of pathogens typically employs a unique mistranslation mechanism. In this study, we address this problem by studying duplicated genes of aminoacyl-transfer RNA (tRNA) synthetases. Using bacterial prolyl-tRNA synthetase (ProRS) genes as an example, we identify an anomalous ProRS isoform, ProRSx, and a corresponding tRNA, tRNA(ProA), that are predominately found in plant pathogens from Streptomyces species. We then show that tRNA(ProA) has an unusual hybrid structure that allows this tRNA to mistranslate alanine codons as proline. Finally, we provide biochemical, genetic, and mass spectrometric evidence that cells which express ProRSx and tRNA(ProA) can translate GCU alanine codons as both alanine and proline. This dual use of alanine codons creates a hidden proteome diversity due to stochastic Ala-->Pro mutations in protein sequences. Thus, we show that important plant pathogens are equipped with a tool to alter the identity of their sense codons. This finding reveals the initial example of a natural tRNA synthetase/tRNA pair for dedicated mistranslation of sense codons.},

abstract = {MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNAs involved in virtually all biological processes. Although many of them are co-expressed from clusters, little is known regarding the impact of this organization on the regulation of their accumulation. In this study, we set to decipher a regulatory mechanism controlling the expression of the ten clustered pre-miRNAs from Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV). We measured in vitro the efficiency of cleavage of each individual pre-miRNA by the Microprocessor and found that pre-miR-K1 and -K3 were the most efficiently cleaved pre-miRNAs. A mutational analysis showed that, in addition to producing mature miRNAs, they are also important for the optimal expression of the whole set of miRNAs. We showed that this feature depends on the presence of a canonical pre-miRNA at this location since we could functionally replace pre-miR-K1 by a heterologous pre-miRNA. Further in vitro processing analysis suggests that the two stem-loops act in cis and that the cluster is cleaved in a sequential manner. Finally, we exploited this characteristic of the cluster to inhibit the expression of the whole set of miRNAs by targeting the pre-miR-K1 with LNA-based antisense oligonucleotides in cells either expressing a synthetic construct or latently infected with KSHV.},

RNA modifications play multiple functions since they can impact RNA base-pairings, recognition by proteins, decoding, as well as RNA structure and stability. However, their roles in stress, environmental adaptation and during infections caused by pathogenic bacteria have just started to be appreciated. With the development of modern technologies in mass spectrometry and deep sequencing, recent examples of modifications regulating host-pathogen interactions have been demonstrated. They show how RNA modifications can regulate immune responses, antibiotic resistance, expression of virulence genes, and bacterial persistence.

Three classes of L domains have been identified thus far (PT/SAP, YPXnL/LXXLF, and PPxY), even if it has recently been suggested that other motifs could act as L domains.

abstract = {Malaria is a life-threatening and devastating parasitic disease. Our previous work showed that parasite development requires the import of exogenous transfer RNAs (tRNAs), which represents a novel and unique form of host-pathogen interaction, as well as a potentially druggable target. This import is mediated by tRip (tRNA import protein), a membrane protein located on the parasite surface. tRip displays an extracellular domain homologous to the well-characterized OB-fold tRNA-binding domain, a structural motif known to indiscriminately interact with tRNAs. We used MIST (Microarray Identification of Shifted tRNAs), a previously established in vitro approach, to systematically assess the specificity of complexes between native Homo sapiens tRNAs and recombinant Plasmodium falciparum tRip. We demonstrate that tRip unexpectedly binds to host tRNAs with a wide range of affinities, suggesting that only a small subset of human tRNAs is preferentially imported into the parasite. In particular, we show with in vitro transcribed constructs that tRip does not bind specific tRNAs solely based on their primary sequence, hinting that post-transcriptional modifications modulate the formation of our host/parasite molecular complex. Finally, we discuss the potential utilization of the most efficient tRip ligands for the translation of the parasite's genetic information.},

abstract = {RNA molecules are key players in a variety of biological events, and this is particularly true for viral RNAs. To better understand the replication of those pathogens and try to block them, special attention has been paid to the structure of their RNAs. Methods to probe RNA structures have been developed since the 1960s; even if they have evolved over the years, they are still in use today and provide useful information on the folding of RNA molecules, including viral RNAs. The aim of this review is to offer a historical perspective on the structural probing methods used to decipher RNA structures before the development of the selective 2′-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension (SHAPE) methodology and to show how they have influenced the current probing techniques. Actually, these technological breakthroughs, which involved advanced detection methods, were made possible thanks to the development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) but also to the previous works accumulated in the field of structural RNA biology. Finally, we will also discuss how high-throughput SHAPE (hSHAPE) paved the way for the development of sophisticated RNA structural techniques.},

abstract = {Many RNA-RNA interactions depend on molecular chaperones to form and remain stable in living cells. A prime example is the RNA chaperone Hfq, which is a critical effector involved in regulatory interactions between small RNAs (sRNAs) and cognate target mRNAs in Enterobacteriaceae. While there is a great deal of in vitro biochemical evidence supporting the model that Hfq enhances rates or affinities of sRNA:mRNA interactions, there is little corroborating in vivo evidence. Here we used in vivo tools including reporter genes, co-purification assays, and super-resolution microscopy to analyze the role of Hfq in RyhB-mediated regulation, and we found that Hfq is often unnecessary for efficient RyhB:mRNA complex formation in vivo. Remarkably, our data suggest that a primary function of Hfq is to promote RyhB-induced cleavage of mRNA targets by RNase E. Moreover, our work indicates that Hfq plays a more limited role in dictating regulatory outcomes following sRNAs RybB and DsrA complex formation with specific target mRNAs. Our investigation helps evaluate the roles played by Hfq in some RNA-mediated regulation.},

abstract = {Root hairs (RHs) are tubular extensions of root epidermal cells that favour nutrient uptake and microbe interactions. RH shows a fast apical growth, constituting a unique single cell model system to analyse cellular morphodynamics. In this context, live cell imaging using microfluidics recently developed to analyze root development is appealing, but high-resolution imaging is still lacking to study accurate spatiotemporal morphodynamics of organelles. Here, we provide a powerful coverslip based microfluidic device (CMD) which enables us to capture high resolution confocal imaging of Arabidopsis RH development with real-time monitoring of nuclear movement and shape changes. To validate the setup, we confirmed the typical RH growth rates and the mean nuclear positioning previously reported with classical methods. Moreover, in order to illustrate the possibilities offered by the CMD, we have compared the real-time variations in the circularity, area, and aspect ratio of nuclei moving in growing and mature RH. Interestingly, we observed higher aspect ratios in the nuclei of mature RH, correlating with higher speeds of nuclear migration. This observation opens the way for further investigations of the effect of mechanical constraints on nuclear shape changes during RH growth and nuclear migration and its role in RH and plant development.},

abstract = {CCA-adding enzymes are highly specific RNA polymerases that add and maintain the sequence C-C-A at tRNA 3ム-ends. Recently, we could reveal that cold adaptation of such a polymerase is not only achieved at the expense of enzyme stability, but also at the cost of polymerization fidelity. Enzymes from psychrophilic organisms usually show an increased structural flexibility to enable catalysis at low temperatures. Here, polymerases face a dilemma, as there is a discrepancy between the need for a tightly controlled flexibility during polymerization and an increased flexibility as strategy for cold adaptation. Based on structural and biochemical analyses, we contribute to clarify the cold adaptation strategy of the psychrophilic CCA-adding enzyme from Planococcus halocryophilus, a gram-positive bacterium thriving in the arctic permafrost at low temperatures down to −15 °C. A comparison with the closely related enzyme from the thermophilic bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus reveals several features of cold adaptation - a significantly reduced amount of alpha-helical elements in the C-terminal tRNA-binding region and a structural adaptation in one of the highly conserved catalytic core motifs located in the N-terminal catalytic core of the enzyme},

abstract = {The lone-pair.pi (lp.pi) (deoxy)ribose.nucleobase stacking is a recurring interaction in Z-DNA and RNAs that is characterized by sub-van der Waals lp.pi contacts (<3.0 A). It is a part of the structural signature of CpG Z-step motifs in Z-DNA and r(UNCG) tetraloops that are known to behave poorly in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Although the exact origin of the MD simulation issues remains unclear, a significant part of the problem might be due to an imbalanced description of nonbonded interactions, including the characteristic lp.pi stacking. To gain insights into the links between lp.pi stacking and MD, we present an in-depth comparison between accurate large-basis-set double-hybrid Kohn-Sham density functional theory calculations DSD-BLYP-D3/ma-def2-QZVPP (DHDF-D3) and data obtained with the nonbonded potential of the AMBER force field (AFF) for NpN Z-steps (N = G, A, C, and U). Among other differences, we found that the AFF overestimates the DHDF-D3 lp.pi distances by approximately 0.1-0.2 A, while the deviation between the DHDF-D3 and AFF descriptions sharply increases in the short-range region of the interaction. Based on atom-in-molecule polarizabilities and symmetry-adapted perturbation theory analysis, we inferred that the DHDF-D3 versus AFF differences partly originate in identical nucleobase carbon atom Lennard-Jones (LJ) parameters despite the presence/absence of connected electron-withdrawing groups that lead to different effective volumes or vdW radii. Thus, to precisely model the very short CpG lp.pi contact distances, we recommend revision of the nucleobase atom LJ parameters. Additionally, we suggest that the large discrepancy between DHDF-D3 and AFF short-range repulsive part of the interaction energy potential may significantly contribute to the poor performances of MD simulations of nucleic acid systems containing Z-steps. Understanding where, and if possible why, the point-charge-type effective potentials reach their limits is vital for developing next-generation FFs and for addressing specific issues in contemporary MD simulations.},

abstract = {INTRODUCTION: Mutations in QARS1, which encodes human glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase, have been associated with epilepsy, developmental regression, progressive microcephaly and cerebral atrophy. Epilepsy caused by variants in QARS1 is usually drug-resistant and intractable. Childhood onset epilepsy is also reported in various aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase disorders. We describe a case with a milder neurological phenotype than previously reported with QARS1 variants and review the seizure associations with aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase disorders. CASE REPORT: The patient is a 4-year-old girl presenting at 6 weeks of age with orofacial dyskinesia and hand stereotypies. She developed focal seizures at 7 months of age. Serial electroencephalograms showed shifting focality. Her seizures were controlled after introduction of carbamazepine. Progress MRI showed very mild cortical volume loss without myelination abnormalities or cerebellar atrophy. She was found to have novel compound heterozygous variants in QARS1 (NM_005051.2): c.[1132C > T];[1574G > A], p.[(Arg378Cys)];[(Arg525Gln)] originally classified as "variants of uncertain significance" and later upgraded to "likely pathogenic" based on functional testing and updated variant database review. Functional testing showed reduced solubility of the corresponding QARS1 mutants in vitro, but only mild two-fold loss in catalytic efficiency with the c.1132C > T variant and no noted change in tRNA(Gln) aminoacylation with the c.1574G > A variant. CONCLUSION: We describe two QARS1 variants associated with overall conserved tRNA aminoacylation activity but characterized by significantly reduced QARS protein solubility, resulting in a milder clinical phenotype. 86% of previous patients reported with QARS1 had epilepsy and 79% were pharmaco-resistant. We also summarise literature regarding epilepsy in aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase disorders, which is also often early onset, severe and drug-refractory.},

The stereochemistry of 1,052 RNA 3D structures, including 1,030 models predicted by fully automated and human-guided approaches within 22 RNA-Puzzles challenges and reference structures, is analysed. The evaluation is based on standards of RNA stereochemistry that the Protein Data Bank requires from deposited experimental structures. Deviations from standard bond lengths and angles, planarity or chirality are quantified. A reduction in the number of such deviations should help in the improvement of RNA 3D structure modelling approaches.},

abstract = {The bacterial DNA sliding clamp (SC), or replication processivity factor, is a promising target for the development of novel antibiotics. We report a structure-activity relationship study of a new series of peptides interacting within the Escherichia coli SC ((Ec)SC) binding pocket. Various modifications were explored including N-alkylation of the peptide bonds, extension of the N-terminal moiety, and introduction of hydrophobic and constrained residues at the C-terminus. In each category, single modifications were identified that increased affinity to (Ec)SC. A combination of such modifications yielded in several cases to a substantially increased affinity compared to the parent peptides with Kd in the range of 30-80 nM. X-ray structure analysis of 11 peptide/(Ec)SC co-crystals revealed new interactions at the peptide-protein interface (i.e., stacking interactions, hydrogen bonds, and hydrophobic contacts) that can account for the improved binding. Several compounds among the best binders were also found to be more effective in inhibiting SC-dependent DNA synthesis.},

abstract = {A growing number of studies indicate that mRNAs and long ncRNAs can affect protein populations by assembling dynamic ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules. These phase-separated molecular 'sponges', stabilized by quinary (transient and weak) interactions, control proteins involved in numerous biological functions. Retroviruses such as HIV-1 form by self-assembly when their genomic RNA (gRNA) traps Gag and GagPol polyprotein precursors. Infectivity requires extracellular budding of the particle followed by maturation, an ordered processing of approximately 2400 Gag and approximately 120 GagPol by the viral protease (PR). This leads to a condensed gRNA-NCp7 nucleocapsid and a CAp24-self-assembled capsid surrounding the RNP. The choreography by which all of these components dynamically interact during virus maturation is one of the missing milestones to fully depict the HIV life cycle. Here, we describe how HIV-1 has evolved a dynamic RNP granule with successive weak-strong-moderate quinary NC-gRNA networks during the sequential processing of the GagNC domain. We also reveal two palindromic RNA-binding triads on NC, KxxFxxQ and QxxFxxK, that provide quinary NC-gRNA interactions. Consequently, the nucleocapsid complex appears properly aggregated for capsid reassembly and reverse transcription, mandatory processes for viral infectivity. We show that PR is sequestered within this RNP and drives its maturation/condensation within minutes, this process being most effective at the end of budding. We anticipate such findings will stimulate further investigations of quinary interactions and emergent mechanisms in crowded environments throughout the wide and growing array of RNP granules.},

Combining biophysical and biochemical approaches we show that the C-terminal flexible 18-residues tail of IN acts as a sensor of the peculiar apical structure of trans-activation
response element RNA (TAR), directly interacting with its hexaloop. We highlighted how the whole IN C-terminal domain, once bound to TAR, can change its structure assisting the binding of Tat, the HIV trans-activator protein, which finally displaces IN from TAR. Our results are consistent with the emerging role of IN in early stage of proviral transcription and suggest new steps of HIV-1 life cycle that can be considered as therapeutic targets.},

abstract = {One of the first layers of protection that metazoans put in place to defend themselves against viruses rely on the use of proteins containing DExD/H-box helicase domains. These members of the duplex RNA-activated ATPase (DRA) family act as sensors of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules, a universal marker of viral infections. DRAs can be classified into 2 subgroups based on their mode of action: They can either act directly on the dsRNA, or they can trigger a signaling cascade. In the first group, the type III ribonuclease Dicer plays a key role to activate the antiviral RNA interference (RNAi) pathway by cleaving the viral dsRNA into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). This represents the main innate antiviral immune mechanism in arthropods and nematodes. Even though Dicer is present and functional in mammals, the second group of DRAs, containing the RIG-I-like RNA helicases, appears to have functionally replaced RNAi and activate type I interferon (IFN) response upon dsRNA sensing. However, recent findings tend to blur the frontier between these 2 mechanisms, thereby highlighting the crucial and diverse roles played by RNA helicases in antiviral innate immunity. Here, we will review our current knowledge of the importance of these key proteins in viral infection, with a special focus on the interplay between the 2 main types of response that are activated by dsRNA.},

This is especially critical for the bacterial small ribosomal subunit that tends to be unstable in the absence of ligands.

abstract = {Summary Catalytic RNAs, also known as ribozymes, are naturally found in every living cell where they can occupy functions as important as peptide bond formation catalysis or intron splicing just as two examples. Besides, ribozymes are thought to be very ancient molecules that might have been the key actors of the so-called RNA world, but they also hold great promise for plenty of modern applications. These features have stimulated the development of in vitro evolution methodologies aiming at characterizing existing but also isolate new artificial ribozymes. Whereas bulk approaches in which all the RNA sequences of library are assayed in a single reaction mixture may be efficient to select fast, single-turn-over and/or self-modifying catalysts, this format is less adapted to the isolation of multiple turnover trans-acting molecules. Instead, a compartmentalization approach in which each variant is isolated and assayed into an individual compartment is better suited. In this chapter, we review the different strategies available to perform such compartmentalization and that range from hand-made water-in-oil emulsion to more advanced microfluidic-assisted ultrahigh-throughput screening. We finally extend the applications scope of these technologies to other RNAs (i.e., light-up RNA aptamers) for which a functional screening may also reveal more efficient than more conventional bulk in vitro selections.},

abstract = {HIV-1 latency generates reservoirs that prevent viral eradication by the current therapies. To find strategies toward an HIV cure, detailed understandings of the molecular mechanisms underlying establishment and persistence of the reservoirs are needed. The cellular transcription factor KAP1 is known as a potent repressor of gene transcription. Here we report that KAP1 represses HIV-1 gene expression in myeloid cells including microglial cells, the major reservoir of the central nervous system. Mechanistically, KAP1 interacts and colocalizes with the viral transactivator Tat to promote its degradation via the proteasome pathway and repress HIV-1 gene expression. In myeloid models of latent HIV-1 infection, the depletion of KAP1 increased viral gene elongation and reactivated HIV-1 expression. Bound to the latent HIV-1 promoter, KAP1 associates and cooperates with CTIP2, a key epigenetic silencer of HIV-1 expression in microglial cells. In addition, Tat and CTIP2 compete for KAP1 binding suggesting a dynamic modulation of the KAP1 cellular partners upon HIV-1 infection. Altogether, our results suggest that KAP1 contributes to the establishment and the persistence of HIV-1 latency in myeloid cells.},

abstract = {Phosphopantothenate is a precursor to synthesis of Coenzyme A (CoA), a molecule essential to many metabolic pathways. Organisms of the archaeal phyla were shown to utilize a different phosphopantothenate biosynthetic pathway from the eukaryotic and bacterial one. In this study, we report that symbiotic bacteria from the group Candidatus poribacteria present enzymes of the archaeal pathway, namely pantoate kinase (PoK) and phosphopantothenate synthetase (PPS), mirroring what was demonstrated for Picrophilus torridus, an archaea partially utilizing the bacterial pathway. Our results support the ancient origin of the CoA pathway in the three domains of life, but also highlight its complex and dynamic evolution. Importantly, this study helps to improve protein annotation for this pathway in the Candidatus poribacteria group and other related organisms.},

abstract = {Dicistrovirus intergenic region internal ribosomal entry sites (IGR IRESs) do not require initiator tRNA, an AUG codon, or initiation factors and jumpstart translation from the middle of the elongation cycle via formation of IRES/80S complexes resembling the pre-translocation state. eEF2 then translocates the [codon-anticodon]-mimicking pseudoknot I (PKI) from ribosomal A sites to P sites, bringing the first sense codon into the decoding center. Halastavi árva virus (HalV) contains an IGR that is related to previously described IGR IRESs but lacks domain 2, which enables these IRESs to bind to individual 40S ribosomal subunits. By using in vitro reconstitution and cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM), we now report that the HalV IGR IRES functions by the simplest initiation mechanism that involves binding to 80S ribosomes such that PKI is placed in the P site, so that the A site contains the first codon that is directly accessible for decoding without prior eEF2-mediated translocation of PKI. },

abstract = {SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is responsible for Covid-19 pandemic. In the early phase of infection, the single-strand positive RNA genome is translated into non-structural proteins (NSP). One of the first proteins produced during viral infection, NSP1, binds to the host ribosome and blocks the mRNA entry channel. This triggers translation inhibition of cellular translation. In spite of the presence of NSP1 on the ribosome, viral translation proceeds however. The molecular mechanism of the so-called viral evasion to NSP1 inhibition remains elusive. Here, we confirm that viral translation is maintained in the presence of NSP1. The evasion to NSP1-inhibition is mediated by the cis-acting RNA hairpin SL1 in the 5'UTR of SARS-CoV-2. NSP1-evasion can be transferred on a reporter transcript by SL1 transplantation. The apical part of SL1 is only required for viral translation. We show that NSP1 remains bound on the ribosome during viral translation. We suggest that the interaction between NSP1 and SL1 frees the mRNA accommodation channel while maintaining NSP1 bound to the ribosome. Thus, NSP1 acts as a ribosome gatekeeper, shutting down host translation or fostering SARS-CoV-2 translation depending on the presence of the SL1 5'UTR hairpin. SL1 is also present and necessary for translation of sub-genomic RNAs in the late phase of the infectious program. Consequently, therapeutic strategies targeting SL1 should affect viral translation at early and late stages of infection. Therefore, SL1 might be seen as a genuine 'Achille heel' of the virus. },

However, numerous studies overestimate the number of MgProper evaluation of the ionic structure of biomolecular systems remains challenging in X ray and cryo-EM techniques but is essential for advancing our understanding of complex structure/activity/solvent relationships. However, numerous studies overestimate the number of Mg2+ in the deposited structures and underrate the importance of stereochemical rules to correctly assign these ions. Herein, we re-evaluate the PDBid 6QNR and 6SJ6 models of the ribosome ionic structure and establish that stereochemical principles need consideration when evaluating ion binding features, even when K+ anomalous signals are available as it is the case for 6QNR. Assignment errors can result in misleading conceptions of the solvent structure of ribosomes and other RNA systems and should therefore be avoided. Our analysis resulted in a significant decrease of the number of bound Mg2+ in the 6QNR structure, suggesting that K+ and not Mg2+ is the prevalent ion in the ribosome 1st solvation shell. We stress that the use of proper stereochemical guidelines is critical for deflating the current Mg2+ bubble witnessed in many ribosome and other RNA structures. Herewith, we would like to draw the attention of the researchers interested in the ionic structure of biomolecular systems on the importance and complementarity of stereochemistry and other ion identification techniques such as those pertaining to the detection of anomalous signals of transition metals and K+ We also stress that for the identification of lighter ions such as Mg2+, Na+, , stereochemistry coupled with high resolution structures remain the best currently available option. in the deposited structures and underrate the importance of stereochemical rules to correctly assign these ions.
