The maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is a conserved and fundamental process during which the maternal environment is converted to an environment of embryonic-driven development through dramatic reprogramming.

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

The impact of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay on genetic disease, gene editing and cancer immunotherapy
Premature termination codons (PTCs) can result in the production of truncated proteins or the degradation of messenger RNAs by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).

Suppressing nonsense--a surprising function for 5-azacytidine. [PDF]
In this issue of EMBO Molecular Medicine, Bhuvanagiri et al report on a chemical means to convert molecular junk into gold. They identify a chemical inhibitor of a quality control pathway that is best known for its ability to clear cells of rubbish, but ...

UPFront and center in RNA decay: UPF1 in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and beyond
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), which is arguably the best-characterized translation-dependent regulatory pathway in mammals, selectively degrades mRNAs as a means of post-transcriptional gene control.

Interaction of yeast eIF4G with spliceosome components Implications in pre-mRNA processing events [PDF]
International audienceAs evidenced from mammalian cells the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4G has a putative role in nuclear RNA metabolism. Here we investigate whether this role is conserved in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

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.

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.

The rules and impact of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in human cancers
Premature termination codons (PTCs) cause a large proportion of inherited human genetic diseases. PTC-containing transcripts can be degraded by an mRNA surveillance pathway termed nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). However, the efficiency of NMD varies;
