Human FASTK preferentially binds single‐stranded and G‐rich RNA

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Although FASTK is known to play a role in mRNA biology, the mechanism through which it recognizes RNA has yet to be unraveled. Here, we used purified human FASTK to characterize its RNA‐binding properties in vitro. We found that FASTK prefers ssRNA oligonucleotides containing guanines with the potential to form G‐quadruplexes and binds robustly to any ...

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

3′UTR variants of ALS‐linked RNAs modify subcellular and cellular phenotypes

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Our study demonstrates that alternative 3′UTR variants of ALS‐linked transcripts modulate subcellular RNA localization and cytoskeletal architecture. NEFH 3′UTR‐Long promotes nuclear RNA clustering, while SOD1 3′UTR‐Long reduces filopodia formation. These results suggest that 3′UTRs, independent of coding sequences, can influence neuronal phenotypes ...
