The Ubiquitin Ligase Zinc Finger SWIM Domain‐Containing Protein 8 Regulates Oligodendrocyte Development Through the Argonaute2/MicroRNA‐7 Axis

open access: yesGlia, Volume 74, Issue 5, May 2026.
ZSWIM8, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that broadly targets IDR‐rich proteins, drives MiR‐7‐dependent AGO2 degradation and the turnover of many RBPs. Loss of ZSWIM8 leads to MiR‐7 accumulation in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells and myelination defects in the developing brain. ABSTRACT Proteostasis of proteins with intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) is of

The exoribonuclease Xrn1 is a post-transcriptional negative regulator of autophagy [PDF]

open access: yesAutophagy, 2018
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 ...

Extending the Targets for Coronavirus Antivirals Beyond That of Approved Drugs: Insights From Preclinical Research

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
Chemical structure of RIBOTAC inhibitor with metabolic handle binding as nucleotide analogue to SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA dependent RNA polymerase, its linker and the RNase L recruiter which binds RNase L monomers and mediates their dimerization that actives nuclease activity degrading the viral RNA.

Novel roles of sulfur metabolism in stress‐controlled stomata aperture regulation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 3, Page 1460-1467, May 2026.
Summary Stomatal closure allows plants to conserve water by reducing transpiration during drought. Surprisingly, the assimilation of the macronutrient sulfur is intimately connected to the drought stress response. This Tansley insight will only briefly touch on the general impact of sulfate assimilation on the production of drought‐response metabolites.

The roles of the exoribonucleases DIS3L2 and XRN1 in human disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
RNA degradation is a vital post-transcriptional process which ensures that transcripts are maintained at the correct level within the cell. DIS3L2 and XRN1 are conserved exoribonucleases that are critical for the degradation of cytoplasmic RNAs. Although

Functional and structural analysis of the C. elegans PAXT-1-XRN2 complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
XRN2 is an essential nuclear 5’ -> 3’ exoribonuclease that is involved in quality control, processing and degradation of RNAs, such as rRNA, snRNA and miRNAs. Recently, C. elegans XRN2 was discovered to exist in a stable complex with PAXT-1.

Regulatory Mechanisms of Exoribonuclease PNPase and Regulatory Small RNA on T3SS of Dickeya dadantii

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2010
The type III secretion system (T3SS) is an essential virulence factor for many bacterial pathogens. Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) is one of the major exoribonucleases in bacteria and plays important roles in mRNA degradation, tRNA processing, and

Non‐Targeting shRNA‐Encoded Plasmid DNA Enhances Protective Immunity Through RIDD‐RIG‐I Signaling Pathway in the Zika Virus Animal Model

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
We present a novel DNA vaccine platform featuring intrinsic, non‐targeting dsRNA that significantly enhances immune responses by activating the regulated IRE1‐dependent decay‐RIG‐I signaling pathway. This research elucidates a previously uncharacterized mechanism for dsRNA‐mediated innate immune activation.

A DIStinctively novel exoribonuclease that really likes U

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal, 2013
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 ...

Elastic Coupling Between RNA Degradation and Unwinding by an Exoribonuclease [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2012
Loading a Spring To regulate cellular RNA levels, transcription must be balanced by RNA degradation. An important player is the exosome, which can unwind and degrade structured RNA. Lee et al. (p.
