RNA-Binding Proteins in Cardiomyopathies
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and DiseaseThe post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression plays an important role in heart development and disease. Cardiac-specific alternative splicing, mediated by RNA-binding proteins, orchestrates the isoform switching of proteins that are essential for cardiomyocyte organization and contraction.

RNA-specific ribonucleotidyl transferases [PDF]
, 2007 RNA-specific nucleotidyl transferases (rNTrs) are a diverse family of template-independent polymerases that add ribonucleotides to the 3'-ends of RNA molecules.

Northwestern Blot of Protein-RNA Interaction from Young Rice Panicles
Bio-Protocol, 2013 The northwestern assay is employed to study the interaction between protein and RNA. The RNA binding proteins tend to bind to different kinds of RNA through either known domains or unknown sequences of proteins.

Comparing the paths of Hedgehog release in artificial and natural settings
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Hh morphogens require solubilization factors to overcome their tight association with the plasma membrane and signal to distant cells, but the precise functions of these factors are controversial. Here, we use published in vivo observations as the most relevant evidence to test their suggested functions and discuss contradictions and gaps between in ...

RNA-binding activity of TRIM25 is mediated by its PRY/SPRY domain and is required for ubiquitination
BMC Biology, 2017 Background TRIM25 is a novel RNA-binding protein and a member of the Tripartite Motif (TRIM) family of E3 ubiquitin ligases, which plays a pivotal role in the innate immune response.

Mitochondrial translation and coordinated cytosolic translation in metabolic homeostasis and disease
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mitochondrial function depends on coordinated protein production from the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. This review highlights how cytosolic and mitochondrial translation, mRNA localization, protein import, and respiratory complex assembly are integrated to maintain mitochondrial proteostasis and function.

The type II poly(A)-binding protein PABP-2 is a downstream target of the "let-7" microRNA in the heterochronic pathway of "Caenorhabditis elegans" : mechanisms of microRNA-mediated gene silencing in "Caenorhabditis elegans" [PDF]
, 2012 microRNAs (miRNAs) are a large class of small, non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression in animals, plants and protozoa. miRNAs are genomically encoded and transcribed by RNA polymerase II. Primary transcripts are sequentially

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Versatility of RNA-Binding Proteins in Cancer [PDF]
Comparative and Functional Genomics, 2012 Posttranscriptional gene regulation is a rapid and efficient process to adjust the proteome of a cell to a changing environment. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are the master regulators of mRNA processing and translation and are often aberrantly expressed in cancer.
