Rapid nuclear deadenylation of mammalian messenger RNA
Summary: Poly(A) tails protect RNAs from degradation and their deadenylation rates determine RNA stability. Although poly(A) tails are generated in the nucleus, deadenylation of tails has mostly been investigated within the cytoplasm.

Regulatory elements of the erythropoietin gene [PDF]
Abstract Because the human hepatoma cell line Hep3B produces erythropoietin (Epo) in a regulated fashion, it can be used to investigate the cis- acting regulatory elements of the Epo gene. Comparison of primate and mouse sequences shows strong homology not only in the coding sequence but also within the 5′ flanking region, the first ...

Conservation of mRNA and Protein Expression during Development of C. elegans
Spatiotemporal control of gene expression is crucial for development and subject to evolutionary changes. Although proteins are the final product of most genes, the developmental proteome of an animal has not yet been comprehensively defined, and the ...

Ancient Pbx-Hox signatures define hundreds of vertebrate developmental enhancers [PDF]
Background: Gene regulation through cis-regulatory elements plays a crucial role in development and disease. A major aim of the post-genomic era is to be able to read the function of cis-regulatory elements through scrutiny of their DNA sequence ...

cis-regulatory circuits regulating NEK6 kinase overexpression in transformed B cells Are super-enhancer independent [PDF]
Alterations in distal regulatory elements that control gene expression underlie many diseases, including cancer. Epigenomic analyses of normal and diseased cells have produced correlative predictions for connections between dysregulated enhancers and ...

Mapping open chromatin by ATAC-seq in bread wheat
Gene transcription is largely regulated by cis-regulatory elements. Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) is an emerging technology that can accurately map cis-regulatory elements in animals and plants.

Post-transcriptional Regulation by 3′ UTRs Can Be Masked by Regulatory Elements in 5′ UTRs
Summary: In mRNA sequences, 3′ UTRs are thought to contain most elements that specifically regulate localization, turnover, and translation. Although high-throughput experiments indicate that many RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) also bind 5′ UTRs, much less ...

Tracing tumorigenesis in a solid tumor model at single-cell resolution
Understanding tumour development at a granular level is a challenge in solid tumours. Here, the authors provide a cell atlas across tumour development in a genetic model of salivary gland squamous cell carcinoma using single-cell transcriptome and ...
