The exosome journey: from biogenesis to uptake and intracellular signalling

open access: yesCell Communication and Signaling, 2021
The use of exosomes in clinical settings is progressively becoming a reality, as clinical trials testing exosomes for diagnostic and therapeutic applications are generating remarkable interest from the scientific community and investors.

A global function for transcription factors in assisting RNA polymerase II termination. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The role of transcription factors (TFs) on nucleosome positioning, RNA polymerase recruitment, and transcription initiation has been extensively characterized.

Digital detection of exosomes by interferometric imaging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Exosomes, which are membranous nanovesicles, are actively released by cells and have been attributed to roles in cell-cell communication, cancer metastasis, and early disease diagnostics.

The nuclear exosome is active and important during budding yeast meiosis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Nuclear RNA degradation pathways are highly conserved across eukaryotes and play important roles in RNA quality control. Key substrates for exosomal degradation include aberrant functional RNAs and cryptic unstable transcripts (CUTs).

Exosome-mediated transfer of miR-222 is sufficient to increase tumor malignancy in melanoma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: Growing evidence is showing that metastatic cell populations are able to transfer their characteristics to less malignant cells. Exosomes (EXOs) are membrane vesicles of endocytic origin able to convey their cargo of mRNAs, microRNAs (miRs),

Structure of an Rrp6-RNA exosome complex bound to poly(A) RNA. [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2014
The eukaryotic RNA exosome processes and degrades RNA by directing substrates to the distributive or processive 3' to 5' exoribonuclease activities of Rrp6 or Rrp44, respectively. The non-catalytic nine-subunit exosome core (Exo9) features a prominent central channel. Although RNA can pass through the channel to engage Rrp44, it is not clear how RNA is

Meiotic gene silencing complex MTREC/NURS recruits the nuclear exosome to YTH-RNA-binding protein Mmi1.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2020
Accurate target recognition in transcript degradation is crucial for regulation of gene expression. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a number of meiotic transcripts are recognized by a YTH-family RNA-binding protein, Mmi1, and selectively ...

Human Telomerase RNA Processing and Quality Control

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
The non-coding RNA subunit of telomerase provides the template for telomerase activity. In diverse fungi, 3′ end processing of telomerase RNA involves a single cleavage by the spliceosome.

The 5' → 3' exoribonuclease XRN1/Pacman and its functions in cellular processes and development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
XRN1 is a 5' → 3' processive exoribonuclease that degrades mRNAs after they have been decapped. It is highly conserved in all eukaryotes, including homologs in Drosophila melanogaster (Pacman), Caenorhabditis elegans (XRN1), and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (

The RNA Exosome Channeling and Direct Access Conformations Have Distinct In Vivo Functions

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
The RNA exosome is a 3′–5′ ribonuclease complex that is composed of nine core subunits and an essential catalytic subunit, Rrp44. Two distinct conformations of Rrp44 were revealed in previous structural studies, suggesting that Rrp44 may change its ...
