Widespread intronic polyadenylation inactivates tumor suppressor genes in leukemia
Nature, 2018 DNA mutations are known cancer drivers. Here we investigated whether mRNA events that are upregulated in cancer can functionally mimic the outcome of genetic alterations. RNA sequencing or 3′-end sequencing techniques were applied to normal and malignant

RNA Binding Proteins that Control Human Papillomavirus Gene Expression
Biomolecules, 2015 The human papillomavirus (HPV) life cycle is strictly linked to the differentiation program of the infected mucosal epithelial cell. In the basal and lower levels of the epithelium, early genes coding for pro-mitotic proteins and viral replication ...

The Transcriptional Landscape of Marek’s Disease Virus in Primary Chicken B Cells Reveals Novel Splice Variants and Genes [PDF]
, 2019 Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is an oncogenic alphaherpesvirus that infects chickens and poses a serious threat to poultry health. In infected animals, MDV efficiently replicates in B cells in various lymphoid organs.

Cdk12 regulates DNA repair genes by suppressing intronic polyadenylation
Nature, 2018 Mutations that attenuate homologous recombination (HR)-mediated repair promote tumorigenesis and sensitize cells to chemotherapeutics that cause replication fork collapse, a phenotype known as ‘BRCAness’1.

Regulation of Germ Cell mRNPs by eIF4E:4EIP Complexes: Multiple Mechanisms, One Goal
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Translational regulation of mRNAs is critically important for proper gene expression in germ cells, gametes, and embryos. The ability of the nucleus to control gene expression in these systems may be limited due to spatial or temporal constraints, as ...

RNA-binding protein CPEB1 remodels host and viral RNA landscapes. [PDF]
, 2016 Host and virus interactions occurring at the post-transcriptional level are critical for infection but remain poorly understood. Here, we performed comprehensive transcriptome-wide analyses revealing that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection results in

QAPA: a new method for the systematic analysis of alternative polyadenylation from RNA-seq data
Genome Biology, 2018 Alternative polyadenylation (APA) affects most mammalian genes. The genome-wide investigation of APA has been hampered by an inability to reliably profile it using conventional RNA-seq. We describe ‘Quantification of APA’ (QAPA), a method that infers APA

Certain Adenylated Non-Coding RNAs, Including 5′ Leader Sequences of Primary MicroRNA Transcripts, Accumulate in Mouse Cells following Depletion of the RNA Helicase MTR4 [PDF]
, 2014 RNA surveillance plays an important role in posttranscriptional regulation. Seminal work in this field has largely focused on yeast as a model system, whereas exploration of RNA surveillance in mammals is only recently begun.

RNA binding protein Caprin-2 is a pivotal regulator of the central osmotic defense response
eLife, 2015 In response to an osmotic challenge, the synthesis of the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) increases in the hypothalamus, and this is accompanied by extension of the 3′ poly(A) tail of the AVP mRNA, and the up-regulation of the expression ...

A novel cause of DKC1‐related bone marrow failure: Partial deletion of the 3′ untranslated region
eJHaem, 2021 Telomere biology disorders (TBDs), including dyskeratosis congenita (DC), are a group of rare inherited diseases characterized by very short telomeres. Mutations in the components of the enzyme telomerase can lead to insufficient telomere maintenance in ...
