Conserved requirement for DEAD-box RNA helicase Gemin3 in Drosophila oogenesis [PDF]
Background: DEAD-box RNA helicase Gemin3 is an essential protein since its deficiency is lethal in both vertebrates and invertebrates. In addition to playing a role in transcriptional regulation and RNA silencing, as a core member of the SMN (survival of

EFTUD2 Regulates Cortical Morphogenesis via Modulation of Caspase‐3 and Aifm1 Splicing Pathways
EFTUD2, a spliceosomal GTPase linked to MFDM, regulates cortical development through apoptotic control. Conditional Eftud2 knockout in murine neural stem cells induces microcephaly and cortical disorganization, while pathogenic variants drive neuronal loss.

Efficient DNA-free genome editing of bread wheat using CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complexes
Protocols for crop genome editing would ideally be quick, efficient and specific while avoiding integration of transgenes into the genome of edited plants. Here, Lianget al.

The exon junction complex undergoes a compositional switch that alters mRNP structure and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay activity [PDF]
The exon junction complex (EJC) deposited upstream of mRNA exon junctions shapes structure, composition and fate of spliced mRNA ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs). To achieve this, the EJC core nucleates assembly of a dynamic shell of peripheral proteins that function in diverse post-transcriptional processes.

ABSTRACT Women with the FMR1 premutation (FXpm) are at heightened genetic vulnerability for depression, with risk compounded by the stressors of parenting a disabled child. Although risk factors persist as FXpm women age, depression in FXpm mothers during midlife and old age is poorly characterized. This study used an accelerated longitudinal design to

Neuronal messenger ribonucleoprotein transport follows an aging Lévy walk
The transport dynamics of messenger ribonucleoproteins in neurons is crucial to our neuronal functions, but the detail remains elusive. Song et al. show that they are transported along the dendrites in alternating run and rest phases with their own ...

Structural basis for dual roles of Aar2p in U5 snRNP assembly [PDF]
Yeast U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP) is assembled via a cytoplasmic precursor that contains the U5-specific Prp8 protein but lacks the U5-specific Brr2 helicase.

Antiviral effects and mechanism of Qi pi pill against influenza viruses
Qi pi pill presents anti‐influenza effect and inhibits viral replication in vitro by targeting both the viral RNA replication and the release of new viral particles. Furthermore, QPP modulates the production of proinflammatory cytokines induced by influenza infection in host cells.
