Composition and function of P bodies in Arabidopsis thaliana
mRNA accumulation is tightly regulated by diverse molecular pathways. The identification and characterization of enzymes and regulatory proteins involved in controlling the fate of mRNA offers the possibility to broaden our understanding of ...

Modulating the RNA processing and decay by the exosome: altering Rrp44/Dis3 activity and end-product. [PDF]
In eukaryotes, the exosome plays a central role in RNA maturation, turnover, and quality control. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the core exosome is composed of nine catalytically inactive subunits constituting a ring structure and the active nuclease ...

Mutagenesis analysis of the zinc-finger antiviral protein [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The zinc-finger antiviral protein (ZAP) specifically inhibits the replication of certain viruses, including murine leukemia virus (MLV), by preventing the accumulation of viral mRNA in the cytoplasm.

Supporting Role for GTPase Rab27a in Hepatitis C Virus RNA Replication through a Novel miR-122-Mediated Effect. [PDF]
The small GTPase Rab27a has been shown to control membrane trafficking and microvesicle transport pathways, in particular the secretion of exosomes. In the liver, high expression of Rab27a correlates with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma.

The Exosome Subunit Rrp44 Plays a Direct Role in RNA Substrate Recognition [PDF]
The exosome plays key roles in RNA maturation and surveillance, but it is unclear how target RNAs are identified. We report the functional characterization of the yeast exosome component Rrp44, a member of the RNase II family.

Impact of alternative carbon sources and antifungal treatment on Candida glabrata biofilms transcription profile [PDF]
Candida glabrata is considered a major opportunistic fungal pathogen of humans and has emerged as a leading cause of nosocomial fungal infections. The capacity of this yeast species to cause infections is dependent on the ability to grow within the human

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 ...

Photocaged dinucleoside tetraphosphates can be incorporated into mRNA by T7 RNA polymerase. Subsequent irradiation with light activates 5′ cap interactions and translation. These 5′ cap analogs are useful tools to probe the functions of naturally occurring dinucleoside tetraphosphates and their role in bacteria and mammalian cells.
