The Distinctive Regulation of Cyanobacterial Glutamine Synthetase [PDF]
, 2018 Glutamine synthetase (GS) features prominently in bacterial nitrogen assimilation as it catalyzes the entry of bioavailable nitrogen in form of ammonium into cellular metabolism. The classic example, the comprehensively characterized GS of enterobacteria,

Post-transcriptional regulation of microRNA expression [PDF]
RNA, 2006 microRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, noncoding ∼22-nucleotide RNA molecules that have recently emerged as fundamental, post-transcriptional regulators of cognate target gene expression. Many mammalian miRNAs are expressed in a tissue-specific manner, a phenomenon that has so far been attributed to transcriptional regulation.

Post-transcriptional regulation of proinflammatory proteins [PDF]
Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 2004 AbstractPost-transcriptional mechanisms play a critical role in regulating the expression of numerous proteins that promote inflammatory arthritis. The mRNAs encoding a subset of these proteins possess adenine/uridine-rich elements (AREs) in their 3′-untranslated regions that profoundly influence the rate at which mRNA is degraded and translated into ...

Are microRNAs Important Players in HIV-1 Infection? An Update
Viruses, 2018 HIV-1 has already claimed over 35 million human lives globally. No curative treatments are currently available, and the only treatment option for over 36 million people currently living with HIV/AIDS are antiretroviral drugs that disrupt the function of ...

Involvement of microRNA in Solid Cancer: Role and Regulatory Mechanisms
Biomedicines, 2021 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) function as the post-transcriptional factor that finetunes the gene expression by targeting to the specific candidate. Mis-regulated expression of miRNAs consequently disturbs gene expression profile, which serves as the pivotal ...

Understanding the role of chromatin remodeling in the regulation of circadian transcription in Drosophila. [PDF]
, 2015 Circadian clocks enable organisms to anticipate daily changes in the environment and coordinate temporal rhythms in physiology and behavior with the 24-h day-night cycle. The robust cycling of circadian gene expression is critical for proper timekeeping,

Identification of novel post-transcriptional features in olfactory receptor family mRNAs. [PDF]
, 2015 Olfactory receptor (Olfr) genes comprise the largest gene family in mice. Despite their importance in olfaction, how most Olfr mRNAs are regulated remains unexplored.

Target mRNA abundance dilutes microRNA and siRNA activity
Molecular Systems Biology, 2010 Post‐transcriptional regulation by microRNAs and siRNAs depends not only on characteristics of individual binding sites in target mRNA molecules, but also on system‐level properties such as overall molecular concentrations.
