This scientific review deals with the mechanisms of action of cytoplasmic microRNAs, namely post-transcriptional silencing: recruitment of the DCP1-DCP2 decapping complex and disruption of the interaction of mRNA with ribosomes.

The exoribonuclease Xrn1 is a post-transcriptional negative regulator of autophagy [PDF]
Macroautophagy/autophagy is a conserved catabolic process that promotes survival during stress. Autophagic dysfunction is associated with pathologies such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, autophagy must be strictly modulated at multiple levels (transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational and post-translational) to prevent ...

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.

Structural and biochemical studies of the 5′→3′ exoribonuclease Xrn1 [PDF]
The 5'→3' exoribonucleases (XRNs) have important functions in transcription, RNA metabolism and RNA interference. The structure of Rat1 (also known as Xrn2) showed that the two highly conserved regions of XRNs form a single, large domain that defines the active site of the enzyme.

A novel fry1 allele reveals the existence of a mutant phenotype unrelated to 5'->3' exoribonuclease (XRN) activities in Arabidopsis thaliana roots. [PDF]
Mutations in the FRY1/SAL1 Arabidopsis locus are highly pleiotropic, affecting drought tolerance, leaf shape and root growth. FRY1 encodes a nucleotide phosphatase that in vitro has inositol polyphosphate 1-phosphatase and 3',(2'),5'-bisphosphate ...

The silencing of transposable elements is mediated by piRNAs through post‐transcriptional and transcriptional regulation. In Drosophila, piRNAs are processed within unique non‐membrane structures: nuage in germline cells and Yb bodies in somatic gonadal cells.

3'-Phosphoadenosine 5'-Phosphate Accumulation Delays the Circadian System. [PDF]
The circadian system optimizes cellular responses to stress, but the signaling pathways that convey the metabolic consequences of stress into this molecular timekeeping mechanism remain unclear.

Defective Processing of Cytoplasmic and Chloroplast Ribosomal RNA in the Absence of Arabidopsis DXO1
ABSTRACT Decapping 5′‐3′ exoribonucleases from the DXO/Rai1 family are highly conserved among eukaryotes and exhibit diverse enzymatic activities depending on the organism. The biochemical and structural properties of the plant DXO1 differ from the yeast and animal counterparts, which is reflected in the in vivo functions of this enzyme.

A DIStinctively novel exoribonuclease that really likes U
Regulated degradation plays a major role in determining the levels of both non-coding (miRNA) and coding (mRNA) transcripts. Thus, insights into the factors and pathways that influence this process have broad, interdisciplinary implications. New findings by Malecki et al (2013), Lubas et al (2013), and Chang et al (2013) identify the protein Dis3L2 as ...
