Regulation of cytoplasmic RNA stability: lessons from drosophila [PDF]
The process of RNA degradation is a critical level of regulation contributing to the control of gene expression. In the last two decades a number of studies have shown the specific and targeted nature of RNA decay and its importance in maintaining ...

Novel mRNA-silencing bodies at the synapse: A never-ending story
Several cellular responses depend on translational regulation and in most cases, this involves the formation of cytoplasmic granules that contain repressed mRNAs.

Overexpression of a natural chloroplast-encoded antisense RNA in tobacco destabilizes 5S rRNA and retards plant growth [PDF]
Background The roles of non-coding RNAs in regulating gene expression have been extensively studied in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, however few reports exist as to their roles in organellar gene regulation.

The Yeast DNA Damage Checkpoint Kinase Rad53 Targets the Exoribonuclease, Xrn1
The highly conserved DNA damage response (DDR) pathway monitors the genomic integrity of the cell and protects against genotoxic stresses. The apical kinases, Mec1 and Tel1 (ATR and ATM in human, respectively), initiate the DNA damage signaling cascade ...

Collaborator of alternative reading frame protein (CARF) regulates early processing of pre-ribosomal RNA by retaining XRN2 (5′-3′ exoribonuclease) in the nucleoplasm [PDF]
Collaborator of alternative reading frame protein (CARF) associates directly with ARF, p53, and/or human double minute 2 protein (HDM2), a ubiquitin-protein ligase, without cofactors and regulates cell proliferation by forming a negative feedback loop ...

Xrn1 Exoribonuclease—An Intrinsic Marker of Yeast Population Growth
Background: Xrn1 exoribonuclease is the major mRNA degradation enzyme in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In exponentially growing cells, Xrn1 is localised in the yeast cells and directs the degradation of mRNA molecules.

Identification of Genes Potentially Regulated by Human Polynucleotide Phosphorylase (hPNPaseold-35) Using Melanoma as a Model [PDF]
Human Polynucleotide Phosphorylase (hPNPaseold-35 or PNPT1) is an evolutionarily conserved 3′→5′ exoribonuclease implicated in the regulation of numerous physiological processes including maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis, mtRNA import and aging ...

Assessing The Role Of Multi-protein Complexes In Determining Phenotype [PDF]
Understanding regulatory mechanisms in complex biological systems is an important challenge, in particular to understand disease mechanisms, and to discover new therapies and drugs. In this paper, we consider the important question of cellular regulation

Exoribonuclease-Resistant RNAs Exist within both Coding and Noncoding Subgenomic RNAs
Many viruses produce protein-coding and noncoding subgenomic RNAs (sgRNAs) that are critical for infection. A recently discovered pathway for viral sgRNA production uses exoribonuclease-resistant RNAs (xrRNAs), discrete folded RNA elements that block the
