The parasite Trypanosoma brucei grows as bloodstream forms in mammalian hosts, and as procyclic forms in tsetse flies. In trypanosomes, gene expression regulation depends heavily on post-transcriptional mechanisms.

Translational Efficiency Is Regulated by the Length of the 3′ Untranslated Region [PDF]
All polyadenylated mRNAs contain sequence of variable length between the coding region and the poly(A) tail. Little has been done to establish what role the length of the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) plays in posttranscriptional regulation. Using firefly luciferase (luc) reporter mRNA in transiently transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, we ...

Is there a classical nonsense-mediated decay pathway in trypanosomes? [PDF]
In many eukaryotes, messenger RNAs with premature termination codons are destroyed by a process called "nonsense-mediated decay", which requires the RNA helicase Upf1 and also, usually, an interacting factor, Upf2.

Post-transcriptional control of nuclear-encoded cytochrome oxidase subunits in Trypanosoma brucei:evidence for genome-wide conservation of life-cycle stage-specific regulatory elements [PDF]
Trypanosomes represent an excellent model for the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression because their genome is organized into polycistronic transcription units.

Alternative polyadenylation and polymorphisms of 3'untranslated regions of bovine BBOX1 gene
l-Carnitine, a key element in fatty acid metabolism and energy production, is biosynthesized from gamma-butyro-betaine by the catalysis of gamma-butyrobetaine hydroxylase (BBOX1).

Characterization of 3'-untranslated region of the mouse GDNF gene [PDF]
Abstract Background Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a potent survival factor for many cell types, and its expression is widespread both within and outside of the nervous system. The regulation of GDNF expression has been extensively investigated but is not fully understood.

Leveraging omic features with F3UTER enables identification of unannotated 3’UTRs for synaptic genes
3’ untranslated regions (3’UTRs) play a crucial role in regulating gene expression, but our 3’UTR catalogue is incomplete. Here, the authors develop a machine learning-based framework to predict previously unannotated 3’UTRs in 39 human tissues.

Background Short (~5 nucleotides) interspersed repeats regulate several aspects of post-transcriptional gene expression. Previously we developed an algorithm (REPFIND) that assigns P-values to all repeated motifs in a given nucleic acid sequence and ...
