ISG20L2, a Novel Vertebrate Nucleolar Exoribonuclease Involved in Ribosome Biogenesis [PDF]
Proteomics analyses of human nucleoli provided molecular bases for an understanding of the multiple functions fulfilled by these nuclear domains. However, the biological roles of about 100 of the identified proteins are unpredictable. The present study describes the functional characterization of one of these proteins, ISG20L2.

ABSTRACT HCoV‐OC43 genomes and their evolution are scarcely studied worldwide and in France, with only 361 genomes available as of October 2023. Here, an in‐house PCR amplification system was implemented to obtain retrospectively by next‐generation sequencing, then analyze HCoV‐OC43 genomes for infections diagnosed with this virus in southern France ...

Substrate Recognition and Catalysis by the Exoribonuclease RNase R [PDF]
RNase R is a processive, 3' to 5' hydrolytic exoribonuclease that together with polynucleotide phosphorylase plays an important role in the degradation of structured RNAs. However, RNase R differs from other exoribonucleases in that it can by itself degrade RNAs with extensive secondary structure provided that a single-stranded 3' overhang is present ...

Molecular Characterization of the Group A Streptococcus Virulence‐Regulatory System FasBCAX
The Fas system of the group A Streptococcus is comprised of three proteins (FasBCA) and a small regulatory RNA (FasX), and it represses adhesin production while also promoting the production of the spreading factor streptokinase. Here, we analyze the Fas proteins to assess how they positively regulate FasX production.

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.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase, RNF219, suppresses CNOT6L expression to exhibit antiproliferative activity
We identified RNF219 as a CCR4‐NOT complex‐interacting E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets the CCR4‐NOT subunit CNOT6L for ubiquitination. RNF219 directly binds to the DUF3819 domain of CNOT1 through its putative α‐helix spanning amino acids 521–542. Our findings also suggest that antiproliferative activity of RNF219 is at least partially mediated by ...

Structural and functional studies of the decapping exoribonucleases [PDF]
Recent studies showed that two homologous yeast proteins, Rai1 and Dxo1, function in a quality control mechanism to clear cells of incompletely 5' end-capped messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Rai1 possesses a novel decapping activity that can remove the entire cap structure dinucleotide from an mRNA.

RNA‐protein (RNP) complexes formed by a network of RNA–RNA, RNA–protein, and protein–protein interactions are central to gene expression. mRNP compositional heterogeneity underlies precise regulation (e.g., export, storage, translation, and decay), enabling cells to adapt to changing conditions, with changes in composition further linked to stress ...

Elevated Wall Tension Leads to Reduced miR‐133a in the Thoracic Aorta by Exosome Release
Background Reduced miR‐133a was previously found to be associated with thoracic aortic (TA) dilation, as seen in aneurysm disease. Because wall tension increases with vessel diameter (Law of Laplace), this study tested the hypothesis that elevated ...
