A career in (mRNA) decay [PDF]
My entry into the RNA world began in 1967 when a visiting lecturer at the University of Toronto, the late Dr. Gordon Tener, inspired my interest in RNA. Various aspects of RNA biology, from ribosomes to plant viruses, occupied my attention during the early stages of my career.

To better understand the accelerated decay of fatty acid synthase (FAS) message that occurs after glucose deprivation (J. Biol. Chem. 1993. 268: 6961-6970), we characterized the 3‘ terminus of the human message and the kinetics of FAS mRNA decay in HepG2

Orchestration of Processing Body Dynamics and mRNA Decay in Arabidopsis Immunity
Summary: Proper transcriptome reprogramming is critical for hosts to launch an effective defense response upon pathogen attack. How immune-related genes are regulated at the posttranscriptional level remains elusive.

Interaction of RNA-binding protein HuR and miR-466i regulates GM-CSF expression. [PDF]
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) produced by T helper 17 (Th17) cells plays an essential role in autoimmune diseases. Transcriptional regulation of Th17 cell differentiation has been extensively studied, but post-transcriptional ...

Identification of novel post-transcriptional features in olfactory receptor family mRNAs. [PDF]
Olfactory receptor (Olfr) genes comprise the largest gene family in mice. Despite their importance in olfaction, how most Olfr mRNAs are regulated remains unexplored.

Cotranslational microRNA mediated messenger RNA destabilization
MicroRNAs are small (22 nucleotide) regulatory molecules that play important roles in a wide variety of biological processes. These RNAs, which bind to targeted mRNAs via limited base pairing interactions, act to reduce protein production from those ...

The CAF1-NOT complex of trypanosomes
In African trypanosomes, there is no control of transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II at the level of individual protein-coding genes. Transcription is polycistronic, and individual mRNAs are excised by trans splicing and polyadenylation.

Hyperphosphorylation amplifies UPF1 activity to resolve stalls in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. [PDF]
Many gene expression factors contain repetitive phosphorylation sites for single kinases, but the functional significance is poorly understood. Here we present evidence for hyperphosphorylation as a mechanism allowing UPF1, the central factor in nonsense-

Identification and characterization of novel factors that act in the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway in nematodes, flies and mammals [PDF]
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a surveillance mechanism that degrades mRNAs harboring premature termination codons (PTCs). We have conducted a genome-wide RNAi screen in Caenorhabditis elegans that resulted in the identification of five novel NMD ...

Tristetraprolin Mediates Interferon-γ mRNA Decay [PDF]
Tristetraprolin (TTP) regulates expression at the level of mRNA decay of several cytokines, including the T cell-specific cytokine, interleukin-2. We performed experiments to determine whether another T cell-specific cytokine, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), is also regulated by TTP and found that T cell receptor-activated T cells from TTP knock-out mice
