A role for SUMO modification in transcriptional repression and activation [PDF]
Since the discovery of the SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier) family of proteins just over a decade ago, a plethora of substrates have been uncovered including many regulators of transcription.

The Role of LncRNAs in Translation
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a group of non-protein coding RNAs with lengths of more than 200 nucleotides, exert their effects by binding to DNA, mRNA, microRNA, and proteins and regulate gene expression at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional ...

Post-transcriptional modifications to tRNA—a response to the genetic code degeneracy [PDF]
We used to think of the genetic code degeneracy as an obligatory process resulting from assigning 61 sense codons to the 20 amino acids in protein. In this degeneracy, 18 of the 20 amino acids are endowed with multiple codons, and the conventional wisdom was that each of the 18 was translated equally from each codon.

Role of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 polycomb protein and its significance in tumor progression and cell differentiation [PDF]
Epigenetics is a branch of genetics that focuses on the heritable changes of DNA or associated proteins, other than DNA sequence variations, which carry information content during cell division [1,2].

Stage-specific histone modification profiles reveal global transitions in the Xenopus embryonic epigenome. [PDF]
Vertebrate embryos are derived from a transitory pool of pluripotent cells. By the process of embryonic induction, these precursor cells are assigned to specific fates and differentiation programs.

Transcriptome-wide analysis of pseudouridylation in Drosophila melanogaster
Pseudouridine (Psi) is one of the most frequent post-transcriptional modification of RNA. Enzymatic Psi modification occurs on rRNA, snRNA, snoRNA, tRNA, and non-coding RNA and has recently been discovered on mRNA.

Defending the genome from the enemy within:mechanisms of retrotransposon suppression in the mouse germline [PDF]
The viability of any species requires that the genome is kept stable as it is transmitted from generation to generation by the germ cells. One of the challenges to transgenerational genome stability is the potential mutagenic activity of transposable ...

Cell culture NAIL-MS allows insight into human tRNA and rRNA modification dynamics in vivo
Post transcriptional modification of RNAs represents an important layer of gene regulation. Here the authors describe NAIL-MS—a method for monoisotopic RNA labeling in cell culture—demonstrating its capabilities by analyzing the modification kinetics of ...

Nuclear processes associated with plant immunity and pathogen susceptibility [PDF]
Plants are sessile organisms that have evolved exquisite and sophisticated mechanisms to adapt to their biotic and abiotic environment. Plants deploy receptors and vast signalling networks to detect, transmit and respond to a given biotic threat by ...
