The CCR4–NOT deadenylase complex safeguards thymic positive selection by down-regulating aberrant pro-apoptotic gene expression

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The CCR4-NOT complex catalyzes mRNA deadenylation and hence regulates protein translation. Here the authors show that CNOT3 regulation of this complex is needed for positive selection of thymocytes via a mechanism involving inhibition of pro-apoptotic ...

The Dual Role of the 16mer Motif Within the 3′ Untranslated Region of the Variant Surface Glycoprotein of Trypanosoma brucei

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 1, Page 67-79, January 2026.
A fully conserved 16mer motif is required in the silent VSG to trigger efficient silencing of the expression site (ES)‐resident VSG and a successful exchange of the VSG coat. ABSTRACT The variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) of African trypanosomes is essential for the survival of bloodstream form parasites.

Translational control in plants: from basic mechanisms to environmental and developmental responses

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 1, January 2026.
SUMMARY Protein synthesis is an essential process for all living organisms and is tightly regulated to ensure the proper production of proteins needed for growth, development, and stress responses. As sessile organisms, plants have evolved distinct mechanisms to regulate translation, allowing them to adapt to their environment.

Maturation of selected human mitochondrial tRNAs requires deadenylation

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Human mitochondria contain a genome (mtDNA) that encodes essential subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation system. Expression of mtDNA entails multi-step maturation of precursor RNA. In other systems, the RNA life cycle involves surveillance mechanisms, however, the details of RNA quality control have not been extensively characterised in human ...

HuR protein attenuates miRNA-mediated repression by promoting miRISC dissociation from the target RNA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The microRNA (miRNA)-mediated repression of protein synthesis in mammalian cells is a reversible process. Target mRNAs with regulatory AU-rich elements (AREs) in their 3′-untranslated regions (3′-UTR) can be relieved of miRNA repression under cellular ...

Target RNAs strike back on MicroRNAs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
MicroRNAs are extensively studied regulatory non-coding small RNAs that silence animal genes throughout most biological processes, typically doing so by binding to partially complementary sequences within target RNAs.

The Link Between Serum Copper and Diabetic Kidney Disease: A Plasma Proteomic Perspective

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a significant microvascular complication of diabetes, accounting for the majority of cases of end‐stage renal disease. Copper, an essential trace element, has been identified as a factor closely associated with the onset and progression of DKD.

External and internal triggers of cell death in yeast [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In recent years, yeast was confirmed as a useful eukaryotic model system to decipher the complex mechanisms and networks occurring in higher eukaryotes, particularly in mammalian cells, in physiological as well in pathological conditions.

Analysis of mRNA deadenylation by multi-protein complexes

open access: yesMethods, 2017
Poly(A) tails are found at the 3' end of almost every eukaryotic mRNA and are important for the stability of mRNAs and their translation into proteins. Thus, removal of the poly(A) tail, a process called deadenylation, is critical for regulation of gene expression. Most deadenylation enzymes are components of large multi-protein complexes.

The 5'-3' exoribonuclease pacman is required for epithelial sheet sealing in Drosophila and genetically interacts with the phosphatase puckered [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background information. Ribonucleases have been well studied in yeast and bacteria, but their biological significance to developmental processes in multicellular organisms is not well understood.
