Comparison of reproducibility, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of miRNA quantification platforms [PDF]
Given the increasing interest in their use as disease biomarkers, the establishment of reproducible, accurate, sensitive, and specific platforms for microRNA (miRNA) quantification in biofluids is of high priority.

Migration of germline progenitor cells is directed by sphingosine-1-phosphate signalling in a basal chordate. [PDF]
The colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri continuously regenerates entire bodies in an asexual budding process. The germ line of the newly developing bodies is derived from migrating germ cell precursors, but the signals governing this homing process ...

With relatively few known specific transcription factors to control the abundance of specific mRNAs, Plasmodium parasites may rely more on the regulation of transcript stability and turnover to provide sufficient gene regulation.

Tetramerisation of the CRISPR ring nuclease Crn3/Csx3 facilitates cyclic oligoadenylate cleavage
Type III CRISPR systems detect foreign RNA and activate the cyclase domain of the Cas10 subunit, generating cyclic oligoadenylate (cOA) molecules that act as a second messenger to signal infection, activating nucleases that degrade the nucleic acid of ...

Role of CPEBs in Learning and Memory
SUMOylation of CPEB3 and its association with target mRNA can lead to phase separation and localisation to P bodies, where translation of target mRNAs is repressed. (1) Activation of AMPA and NMDA receptors leads to (2) long‐term potentiation (LTP). Increased cellular Ca2+ concentration leads to activation of calpain‐2 and some proteolysis of CPEB3. (3)

Identification of novel post-transcriptional features in olfactory receptor family mRNAs. [PDF]
Olfactory receptor (Olfr) genes comprise the largest gene family in mice. Despite their importance in olfaction, how most Olfr mRNAs are regulated remains unexplored.

RNA‐binding proteins orchestrating immunity in plants
SUMMARY RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) direct the function and fate of RNA throughout the RNA lifecycle and play important roles in plant immunity, orchestrating the post‐transcriptional reprogramming of the transcriptome following induction of plant immune responses, a process that we term ‘RBP‐mediated immunity’. Although the importance of specific RBPs

Cleavage of 3′-terminal adenosine by archaeal ATP-dependent RNA ligase [PDF]
Methanothermobacter thermoautotrophicus RNA ligase (MthRnl) catalyzes formation of phosphodiester bonds between the 5′-phosphate and 3′-hydroxyl termini of single-stranded RNAs.

Mechanisms governing poly(A)-tail-length specificity of the human PAN2-PAN3 deadenylase complex
Summary: The lifespan of most eukaryotic mRNAs is modulated by the gradual shortening of the poly(A) tail and removal of the associated poly(A)-binding protein.

Insights into the structure and architecture of the CCR4-NOT complex
The CCR4-NOT complex is a highly conserved, multifunctional machinery with a general role in controlling mRNA metabolism. It has been implicated in a number of different aspects of mRNA and protein expression, including mRNA degradation, transcription ...
