Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Summary: Aging is accompanied by a pervasive collapse of proteostasis, while reducing general protein synthesis promotes longevity across taxa. Here, we show that the eIF4E isoform IFE-2 is increasingly sequestered in mRNA processing (P) bodies during ...

Arabidopsis DXO1 activates RNMT1 to methylate the mRNA guanosine cap
Arabidopsis DXO1 is a member of the eukaryotic DXO family of decapping enzymes for NAD-capped RNAs. Here the authors show that DXO1 is an essential component in canonical m7G capping of mRNA and activates RNMT1 which methylates the guanosine cap to form ...

This study unveils an unrecognized pro‐inflammatory epitranscriptomic checkpoint in psoriasis. By installing m7G modifications on the 5′ UTR of Bdkrb1 mRNA, METTL1 enhances receptor stability to orchestrate keratinocyte‐driven neutrophil recruitment via p38 MAPK signaling.

Structural and biochemical characterization of eukaryotic mRNA decapping activators [PDF]
In eukaryotes, mRNA turnover starts with the truncation of 3′ poly(A) tail and proceeds with either 3′-to-5′ degradation by the exosome complex or with decapping followed by 5′-to-3′ degradation by Xrn1.

Targeting Poxvirus Decapping Enzymes and mRNA Decay to Generate an Effective Oncolytic Virus
Through the action of two virus-encoded decapping enzymes (D9 and D10) that remove protective caps from mRNA 5′-termini, Vaccinia virus (VACV) accelerates mRNA decay and limits activation of host defenses.

Abstract Infections by Pseudomonas aeruginosa are a major cause of severe morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients and people with cystic fibrosis, largely due to the pathogen's ability to resist antibiotic treatment and to deploy multiple virulence strategies that promote persistence in the host.

Proteostasis of organelles in aging and disease
Cells rely on regulated proteostasis mechanisms to keep their internal compartments functioning properly. When these mechanisms fail, damaged proteins accumulate, disrupting organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and lysosomes, as well as membraneless organelles, such as stress granules, processing bodies, the ...

Regulation of gene expression in trypanosomatids: living with polycistronic transcription [PDF]
In trypanosomes, RNA polymerase II transcription is polycistronic and individual mRNAs are excised by trans-splicing and polyadenylation. The lack of individual gene transcription control is compensated by control of mRNA processing, translation and ...

ABSTRACT Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) aim to identify loci associated with different traits, which could be evaluated in subsequent studies and later be prioritized in individual and seed stand selection. In trees, traits are measured at maturity or are only available after a long time, and juvenile‐mature correlations are often unknown ...
