The eIF4E-binding protein Eap1p functions in Vts1p-mediated transcript decay. [PDF]
Sequence-specific RNA binding proteins can induce the degradation of mRNAs through their ability to recruit proteins that trigger transcript destabilization. For example, Vts1p, the S.

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Regulation of the Drosophila transcriptome by Pumilio and the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex
The sequence-specific RNA-binding protein Pumilio controls Drosophila development; however, the network of mRNAs that it regulates remains incompletely characterized. In this study, we utilize knockdown and knockout approaches coupled with RNA-Seq to measure the impact of Pumilio on the transcriptome of Drosophila cells in culture.

Structural basis for inhibition of the deadenylase activity of human
Human CNOT6L/CCR4, a member of the endonuclease‐exonuclease‐phosphatase (EEP) family enzymes, is one of the two deadenylase enzymes in the conserved CCR4‐NOT complex. Here, we report inhibitor‐bound crystal structures of the human CNOT6L nuclease domain in complex with the nucleotide CMP and the aminoglycoside neomycin. Deadenylase activity assays show

The RNA-binding protein MARF1 is required for post-transcriptional regulation of mRNAs during mouse oogenesis. Here, by analyzing a Drosophila MARF1 mutant, the authors show that MARF1 recruits CCR4-NOT deadenylase to shorten the poly-A tails of target ...

RNA‐Based Therapies for Inherited Metabolic Disorders
ABSTRACT Inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) are a diverse and complex group of genetic conditions resulting from deficiencies in enzymes, transporters, or cofactors. These deficiencies lead to metabolic dysfunction and severe clinical consequences. Despite significant progress in understanding their molecular basis, treatment options remain limited ...

Application of Deadenylase Electrochemiluminescence Assay for Ricin to Foods in a Plate Format
A recently developed bead-based deadenylase electrochemiluminescence assay for ricin is simple and sensitive in its ability to detect ricin, based on the catalytic activity of the toxin subunit, ricin A chain. The assay was modified to work in a 96-well plate format and evaluated by using juice samples.

RNA Regulatory Networks: Key Hubs in the Panorama of Cancer and Emerging Therapeutic Targets
RNA regulatory networks play a crucial role in the initiation and progression of cancer through various modes of RNA interactions. Notably, circulating RNAs have emerged as potential biomarkers, while targeted interventions in RNA regulatory networks facilitate precise therapeutic strategies. ABSTRACT Cancer is a global health challenge. The initiation
