Plant microRNAs: Biogenesis, Homeostasis, and Degradation
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of endogenous, tiny, non-coding RNAs, are master regulators of gene expression among most eukaryotes. Intracellular miRNA abundance is regulated under multiple levels of control including transcription, processing, RNA ...

MOV10 RNA helicase is a potent inhibitor of retrotransposition in cells. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 MOV10 protein, a putative RNA helicase and component of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), inhibits retrovirus replication. We show that MOV10 also severely restricts human LINE1 (L1), Alu, and SVA retrotransposons.

arXiv, 2018 The cost of communication is a substantial factor affecting the scalability of many distributed applications. Every message sent can incur a cost in storage, computation, energy and bandwidth. Consequently, reducing the communication costs of distributed applications is highly desirable.

Epigenetic Chromatin Silencing: Bistability and Front Propagation [PDF]
, 2007 The role of post-translational modification of histones in eukaryotic gene regulation is well recognized. Epigenetic silencing of genes via heritable chromatin modifications plays a major role in cell fate specification in higher organisms. We formulate a coarse-grained model of chromatin silencing in yeast and study the conditions under which the ...

TRPM8 levels determine tumor vulnerability to channel agonists
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.TRPM8 is a Ca2+ permissive channel. Regardless of the amount of its transcript, high levels of TRPM8 protein mark different tumors, including prostate, breast, colorectal, and lung carcinomas. Targeting TRPM8 with channel agonists stimulates inward calcium currents followed by emptying of cytosolic Ca2+ stores in cancer cells.

Extreme resistance as a host counter-counter defense against viral suppression of RNA silencing. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 RNA silencing mediated by small RNAs (sRNAs) is a conserved regulatory process with key antiviral and antimicrobial roles in eukaryotes. A widespread counter-defensive strategy of viruses against RNA silencing is to deploy viral suppressors of RNA ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The pan‐HDAC inhibitor belinostat increases the expression of the pro‐apoptotic proteins Bim, Puma, and Noxa and induces apoptosis in ovarian cancer cell lines and patient‐derived tumor organoids when used at high concentrations. Moreover, inhibiting the anti‐apoptotic proteins Bcl‐xL or Mcl‐1 sensitizes these preclinical models to the cytotoxic effect

5′ Unlocked Nucleic Acid Modification Improves siRNA Targeting
Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2013 Optimization of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) is important in RNA interference (RNAi)-based therapeutic development. Some specific chemical modifications can control which siRNA strand is selected by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) for gene ...
