The contribution of alternative polyadenylation to the cancer phenotype [PDF]
Eukaryotic 3'-end formation is a critical step for mRNA maturation and involves a requisite cleavage and polyadenylation event downstream of a polyadenylation signal. Recent discoveries suggest that in nearly 70% of human genes, cleavage and polyadenylation can occur at multiple locations through a process known as alternative polyadenylation (APA ...

Polyadenylation: alternative lifestyles of the A-rich (and famous?) [PDF]
EMBO J 29 9, 1523–1536 (2010); published online March252010 [PMC free article] [PubMed] Alternative polyadenylation has a major function in gene expression and is often mediated through signals that lack canonical signatures. In this issue, Nunes et al (2010) uncover a new upstream A-rich sequence element that in conjunction with a strong U/GU-rich ...

RNA-binding protein CPEB1 remodels host and viral RNA landscapes. [PDF]
Host and virus interactions occurring at the post-transcriptional level are critical for infection but remain poorly understood. Here, we performed comprehensive transcriptome-wide analyses revealing that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection results in

Global insights into alternative polyadenylation regulation [PDF]
Alternative pre-mRNA processing greatly increases the coding capacity of the human genome and regulatory factors involved in RNA processing play critical roles in tissue development and maintenance. Indeed, abnormal functions of RNA processing factors have been associated with a wide range of human diseases from cancer to neurodegenerative disorders ...

CRISPRpas: programmable regulation of alternative polyadenylation by dCas9 [PDF]
Abstract Most human protein-coding genes produce alternative polyadenylation (APA) isoforms that differ in 3′ UTR size or, when coupled with splicing, have variable coding sequences. APA is an important layer of gene expression program critical for defining cell identity.

Alternative polyadenylation of ZEB1 promotes its translation during genotoxic stress in pancreatic cancer cells [PDF]
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by extremely poor prognosis. The standard chemotherapeutic drug, gemcitabine, does not offer significant improvements for PDAC management due to the rapid acquisition of drug resistance by patients.

Dual Requirement for Yeast hnRNP Nab2p in mRNA poly(A) Tail Length Control and Nuclear Export [PDF]
Recent studies of mRNA export factors have provided additional evidence for a mechanistic link between mRNA 3′‐end formation and nuclear export. Here, we identify Nab2p as a nuclear poly(A)‐binding protein required for both poly(A) tail length control ...

Analysis of wheat SAGE tags reveals evidence for widespread antisense transcription [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) is a powerful tool for genome-wide transcription studies. Unlike microarrays, it has the ability to detect novel forms of RNA such as alternatively spliced and antisense transcripts, without the need ...
