[HTML][HTML] The fittest versus the flattest: experimental confirmation of the quasispecies effect with subviral pathogens

FM Codoñer, JA Darós, RV Solé, SF Elena - PLoS pathogens, 2006 - journals.plos.org
The “survival of the fittest” is the paradigm of Darwinian evolution in which the best-adapted
replicators are favored by natural selection. However, at high mutation rates, the fittest …

Replication of avocado sunblotch viroid: evidence for a symmetric pathway with two rolling circles and hammerhead ribozyme processing.

JA Daròs, JF Marcos, C Hernandez… - Proceedings of the …, 1994 - National Acad Sciences
The structure of a series of RNAs extracted from avocado infected by the 247-nt avocado
sunblotch viroid (ASBVd) was investigated. The identification of multistranded complexes …

Mechanisms of genetic robustness in RNA viruses

SF Elena, P Carrasco, JA Daròs, R Sanjuán - EMBO reports, 2006 - embopress.org
Two key features of RNA viruses are their compacted genomes and their high mutation rate.
Accordingly, deleterious mutations are common and have an enormous impact on viral …

Viroids: an Ariadne's thread into the RNA labyrinth

JA Daròs, SF Elena, R Flores - EMBO reports, 2006 - embopress.org
Viroids are structurally, functionally and evolutionarily different from viruses. Despite their
small, non‐protein‐encoding, single‐stranded circular RNA genome, viroids can infect higher …

[HTML][HTML] A chloroplast protein binds a viroid RNA in vivo and facilitates its hammerhead‐mediated self‐cleavage

JA Daròs, R Flores - The EMBO journal, 2002 - embopress.org
Viroids, small single‐stranded circular RNAs (246–401 nucleotides), do not have mRNA
capacity and must recruit host proteins to assist in the steps of their biological cycle. The nature …

[HTML][HTML] Processing of nuclear viroids in vivo: an interplay between RNA conformations

ME Gas, C Hernández, R Flores, JA Daròs - PLoS Pathogens, 2007 - journals.plos.org
Daròs, unpublished data). The adoption in vivo of the double-stranded structure with a GC-rich
central region containing the cleavage sites could be promoted by hairpin I because prior …

[HTML][HTML] Viroid replication: rolling-circles, enzymes and ribozymes

…, A Carbonell, S Gago, MD la Peña, JA Daròs - Viruses, 2009 - mdpi.com
Viroids, due to their small size and lack of protein-coding capacity, must rely essentially on
their hosts for replication. Intriguingly, viroids have evolved the ability to replicate in two …

Viroid RNA redirects host DNA ligase 1 to act as an RNA ligase

MÁ Nohales, R Flores, JA Daròs - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
Viroids are a unique class of noncoding RNAs: composed of only a circular, single-stranded
molecule of 246–401 nt, they manage to replicate, move, circumvent host defenses, and …
