Poly(GP) proteins are a useful pharmacodynamic marker for C9ORF72-associated amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]
There is no effective treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a devastating motor neuron disease. However, discovery of a G4C2 repeat expansion in the C9ORF72 gene as the most common genetic cause of ALS has opened up new avenues for ...

Gene dosage effects of poly(A) track-engineered hypomorphs
Manipulation of gene activity through creation of hypomorphic mutants has been a long-standing tool in examining gene function. Our previous studies have indicated that hypomorphic mutants could be created by inserting cis-regulatory sequences composed ...

The RNA Binding Domains of the Nuclear poly(A)-binding Protein [PDF]
The nuclear poly(A)-binding protein (PABPN1) is involved in the synthesis of the mRNA poly(A) tails in most eukaryotes. We report that the protein contains two RNA binding domains, a ribonucleoprotein-type RNA binding domain (RNP domain) located approximately in the middle of the protein sequence and an arginine-rich C-terminal domain.

TLR3 forms a highly organized cluster when bound to a poly(I:C) RNA ligand
TLR3 plays a crucial role in anti-viral immune response by recognizing RNAs produced during virus infection. Here, the authors determine a high resolution structure of the activated cluster of TLR3.

Characterization of the multimeric structure of poly(A)-binding protein on a poly(A) tail [PDF]
AbstractEukaryotic mature mRNAs possess a poly adenylate tail (poly(A)), to which multiple molecules of poly(A)-binding protein C1 (PABPC1) bind. PABPC1 regulates translation and mRNA metabolism by binding to regulatory proteins. To understand functional mechanism of the regulatory proteins, it is necessary to reveal how multiple molecules of PABPC1 ...
