NUDT21‐mediated Alternative Polyadenylation of CDK19 Reprograms Cholesterol Biosynthesis to Drive Colorectal Cancer Progression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
NUDT21 is overexpressed in colorectal cancer tumors and promotes colorectal cancer progression. NUDT21 promotes the production of a cyclin‐dependent kinase 19 (CDK19) mRNA isoform with a long 3′ UTR, which enhances cytoplasmic export and translation. Truncation of the CDK19 long 3′ UTR phenocopies NUDT21 loss, recapitulating the defects in cholesterol ...

Genetic and pharmacological evidence for kinetic competition between alternative poly(A) sites in yeast

eLife, 2021
Most eukaryotic mRNAs accommodate alternative sites of poly(A) addition in the 3’ untranslated region in order to regulate mRNA function. Here, we present a systematic analysis of 3’ end formation factors, which revealed 3’UTR lengthening in response to ...

Insights into organelle forming RNAs: Diversity, functions and future perspectives

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
RNA molecules play crucial roles in the formation and maintenance of cellular structures and organelles. These ‘organelle formation RNAs’ include ribosomal RNAs, paraspeckle‐forming RNAs, nuclear speckle‐forming RNAs, nucleolus‐forming RNAs, and cytoskeleton‐forming RNA.

WDR33 alternative polyadenylation is dependent on stochastic poly(a) site usage and splicing efficiencies

RNA Biology
Transcripts from the human WDR33 gene, which encodes a central component of the mRNA polyadenylation (PA) machinery, are subject to alternative polyadenylation (APA) within promoter-proximal introns/exons.

Co‐Opting MBNL‐Dependent Alternative Splicing Cassette Exons to Control Gene Therapy in Myotonic Dystrophy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a highly variable, multisystemic genetic disorder caused by a CTG repeat expansion in the 3′ untranslated region of DMPK. Toxicity is exerted by repeat‐containing DMPK transcripts that sequester muscleblind‐like (MBNL) proteins and lead to deleterious yet predictable changes in alternative splicing.

5‐Methylcytosine Analysis of miRNAs in Minimal Change Disease

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Minimal change disease (MCD) is a glomerular disorder, which is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children. Additionally, the prevalence of MCD in adults has been increasing in recent years. During protein synthesis, noncoding RNAs can be regulated through a variety of modifications, which helps preserve biological diversity and ...

U1 snRNP-Dependent Suppression of Polyadenylation: Physiological Role and Therapeutic Opportunities in Cancer

International Journal of Cell Biology, 2013
Pre-mRNA splicing and polyadenylation are critical steps in the maturation of eukaryotic mRNA. U1 snRNP is an essential component of the splicing machinery and participates in splice-site selection and spliceosome assembly by base-pairing to the 5 ...

Cell Cycle Regulation by Alternative Polyadenylation of CCND1 [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
AbstractGlobal shortening of 3′UTRs by alternative polyadenylation (APA) has been observed in cancer cells. However, the role of APA in cancer remains unknown.CCND1is a proto-oncogene that regulates progression through the G1-S phase of the cell cycle; moreover, it has been observed to be switching to proximal APA sites in cancer cells.

Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of DNDI‐6148, a novel agent for leishmaniasis: A randomized, controlled, single ascending dose study in healthy participants

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim The benzoxaborole derivative DNDI‐6148 is an antiparasitic agent with activity against multiple Leishmania protozoan species, including L. infantum and L. donovani, which cause visceral leishmaniasis. We investigated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single oral doses of DNDI‐6148 in a randomized, parallel‐group, placebo‐controlled ...
