Identification of a novel human E-Cadherin splice variant andassessment of its effects upon EMT-related events [PDF]
Epithelial Cadherin (E-cadherin) is involved in calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion and signal transduction. The E-cadherin decrease/loss is a hallmark of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT), a key event in tumor progression.

Single-Molecule Imaging Uncovers Rules Governing Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay
Summary Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) is a surveillance system that degrades mRNAs containing a premature termination codon (PTC) and plays important roles in protein homeostasis and disease.

mRNA Degradation and Decay [PDF]
Why is it important to understand mRNA degradation in a cell? First,RNA degradation has a clearing function and removes RNAs arising from tran-scription, splicing, export, or translation “accidents” to ensure robust geneexpression (see Chap. 8). Second, while regulation of gene expression has a veryimportant transcription component, mRNAs must be ...

Interactions between the HIV-1 Unspliced mRNA and Host mRNA Decay Machineries
The human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) unspliced transcript is used both as mRNA for the synthesis of structural proteins and as the packaged genome. Given the presence of retained introns and instability AU-rich sequences, this viral transcript

Long Non-Coding RNAs: New Players in Hematopoiesis and Leukemia [PDF]
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression that influence almost every step in the life cycle of genes, from transcription to mRNA splicing, RNA decay, and translation.

Increased chromosomal radiosensitivity in asymptomatic carriers of a heterozygous BRCA1 mutation [PDF]
Background: Breast cancer risk increases drastically in individuals carrying a germline BRCA1 mutation. The exposure to ionizing radiation for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes of BRCA1 mutation carriers is counterintuitive, since BRCA1 is active in the

Biomolecular condensates play a key role in organizing RNAs and proteins into membraneless organelles. Bacterial RNP-bodies (BR-bodies) are a biomolecular condensate containing the RNA degradosome mRNA decay machinery, but the biochemical function of ...

CELFish ways to modulate mRNA decay [PDF]
The CELF family of RNA-binding proteins regulates many steps of mRNA metabolism. Although their best characterized function is in pre-mRNA splice site choice, CELF family members are also powerful modulators of mRNA decay. In this review we focus on the different modes of regulation that CELF proteins employ to mediate mRNA decay by binding to GU-rich ...
