Targeting RNA binding protein in prostate cancer
Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2017 RNA binding protein (RBP) controls multiple aspects of RNA metabolism and plays crucial roles in many physiopathological contexts, including cancer. We recently identified an RBP HNRNPL as a novel prostate cancer dependency via regulation of RNA splicing,

Non-Natural Linker Configuration in 2,6-Dipeptidyl-Anthraquinones Enhances the Inhibition of TAR RNA Binding/Annealing Activities by HIV-1 NC and Tat Proteins [PDF]
, 2018 The HIV-1 nucleocapsid (NC) protein represents an excellent molecular target for the development of antiretrovirals by virtue of its well-characterized chaperone activities, which play pivotal roles in essential steps of the viral life cycle. Our ongoing

Dimer-dimer stacking interactions are important for nucleic acid binding by the archaeal chromatin protein Alba [PDF]
, 2013 Archaea use a variety of small basic proteins to package their DNA. One of the most widespread and highly conserved is the Alba (Sso10b) protein. Alba interacts with both DNA and RNA in vitro, and we show in the present study that it binds more tightly ...

Probing RNA recognition by human ADAR2 using a high-throughput mutagenesis method. [PDF]
, 2016 Adenosine deamination is one of the most prevalent post-transcriptional modifications in mRNA. In humans, ADAR1 and ADAR2 catalyze this modification and their malfunction correlates with disease. Recently our laboratory reported crystal structures of the

Inhibition of RNA polymerase II transcription in human cells by synthetic DNA-binding ligands [PDF]
, 1998 Sequence-specific DNA-binding small molecules that can permeate human cells potentially could regulate transcription of specific genes. Multiple cellular DNA-binding transcription factors are required by HIV type 1 for RNA synthesis.

Recognition of two distinct elements in the RNA substrate by the RNA-binding domain of the T. thermophilus DEAD box helicase Hera [PDF]
, 2013 DEAD box helicases catalyze the ATP-dependent destabilization of RNA duplexes. Whereas duplex separation is mediated by the helicase core shared by all members of the family, flanking domains often contribute to binding of the RNA substrate.

Ribosomal protein L7a binds RNA through two distinct RNA-binding domains [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 2004 The human ribosomal protein L7a is a component of the major ribosomal subunit. We previously identified three nuclear-localization-competent domains within L7a, and demonstrated that the domain defined by aa (amino acids) 52–100 is necessary, although not sufficient, to target the L7a protein to the nucleoli.
