Quantitative global studies reveal differential translational control by start codon context across the fungal kingdom

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2020
Eukaryotic protein synthesis generally initiates at a start codon defined by an AUG and its surrounding Kozak sequence context, but the quantitative importance of this context in different species is unclear.

Lipid Nanoparticles for the Delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 Machinery to Enable Site‐Specific Integration of CFTR and Mutation‐Agnostic Disease Rescue

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are optimized to co‐deliver Cas9‐encoding messenger RNA (mRNA), a single guide RNA (sgRNA) targeting the endogenous cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, and homologous linear double‐stranded donor DNA (ldsDNA) templates encoding CFTR.

Functional rescue of dystrophin deficiency in mice caused by frameshift mutations using Campylobacter jejuni Cas9 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal, X-linked muscle wasting disease caused by mutations in the DMD gene. In 51% of DMD cases, a reading frame is disrupted because of deletion of several exons.

An Expanded Toolbox for Versatile Chemical Editing of Adeno‐Associated Virus

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We describe technology to introduce diverse non‐natural chemical functionalities site‐specifically into the capsid of adeno‐associated virus through genetic code expansion, and using them to engineer this leading vector for human gene therapy for enhanced tissue specificity and reduced immunogenicity Abstract Site‐specific incorporation of noncanonical

MicroRNA-mediated repression of nonsense mRNAs

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Numerous studies have established important roles for microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulating gene expression. Here, we report that miRNAs also serve as a surveillance system to repress the expression of nonsense mRNAs that may produce harmful truncated ...

TBK1 Induces the Formation of Optineurin Filaments That Condensate with Polyubiquitin and LC3 for Cargo Sequestration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Phosphorylation of Optineurin by TBK1 induces the formation of filaments that condensate upon binding to linear polyubiquitin. Membrane‐anchored LC3 partitions into these condensates, suggesting that phase separation of filamentous Optineurin with ubiquitylated cargo promotes the sequestration of cargo and its subsequent alignment with LC3‐positive ...

Aberrant Splicing Signatures Underpin Oligodendrocyte Damage in ALS and Neuron Loss in FTD

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Integrating bulk and single‐nucleus RNA‐seq from ALS and FTD patients, we revealed distinct cellular dysfunctions, with severe oligodendrocyte damage in ALS and pronounced neuron loss in FTD. We identified cell‐type‐specific aberrant splicing events as potential biomarkers with robust classification performance, some of which produce de novo peptides ...

Position of Premature Termination Codons Determines Susceptibility of hERG Mutations to Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay in Long QT Syndrome

open access: yes, 2014
The degradation of human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG, KCNH2) transcripts containing premature termination codon (PTC)mutations by nonsense-mediatedmRNA decay (NMD) is an importantmechanismof long QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2).

Allele-Specific Prevention of Nonsense-Mediated Decay in Cystic Fibrosis Using Homology-Independent Genome Editing

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2020
Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) is a major pathogenic mechanism underlying a diversity of genetic disorders. Nonsense variants tend to lead to more severe disease phenotypes and are often difficult targets for small molecule therapeutic development as a ...

Precursor RNAs Harboring Nonsense Codons Accumulate Near the Site of Transcription [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Cell, 2001
Messenger RNAs containing premature termination codons (PTCs) are selectively eliminated by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Paradoxically, although cytoplasmic ribosomes are the only known species capable of PTC recognition, in mammals many PTC-containing mRNAs are apparently eliminated prior to release from the nucleus.
