The disease resistance protein SNC1 represses the biogenesis of microRNAs and phased siRNAs

Nature Communications, 2018
A small RNA-based signaling cascade prevents the induction of plant resistance genes (R-genes) in the absence of pathogen challenge. Here Cai et al.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Transcriptomic Analysis of Gene Networks Regulated by U11 Small Nuclear RNA in Bladder Cancer

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Small nuclear RNA is a class of non-coding RNA that widely exist in the nucleus of eukaryotes. Accumulated evidences have shown that small nuclear RNAs are associated with the regulation of gene expression in various tumor types.

Interplay between circadian and other transcription factors—Implications for cycling transcriptome reprogramming

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

Nucleoporins shape germ granule architecture and balance small RNA silencing pathways

Nature Communications
Animals use small RNA pathways, such as PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA), to silence harmful genetic elements. In Caenorhabditis elegans, piRNA pathway components are organized into sub-compartments within germ granules near

RNAs as Proximity-Labeling Media for Identifying Nuclear Speckle Positions Relative to the Genome

iScience, 2018
Summary: It remains challenging to identify all parts of the nuclear genome that are in proximity to nuclear speckles, due to physical separation between the nuclear speckle cores and chromatin. We hypothesized that noncoding RNAs including small nuclear

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Long Noncoding RNAs in Metabolic Syndrome Related Disorders

Mediators of Inflammation, 2016
Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) are very complex and their all functions have yet to be fully clarified. Noncoding genes (noncoding RNA, sequences, and pseudogenes) comprise 67% of all genes and they are represented by housekeeping noncoding RNAs (transfer RNA (

Circulating miRNAs, isomiRs and small RNA clusters in human plasma and breast milk. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Circulating small RNAs, including miRNAs but also isomiRs and other RNA species, have the potential to be used as non-invasive biomarkers for communicable and non-communicable diseases.
