Enzymatic synthesis of RNAs capped with nucleotide analogues reveals the molecular basis for substrate selectivity of RNA capping enzyme: impacts on RNA metabolism. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
RNA cap binding proteins have evolved to specifically bind to the N7-methyl guanosine cap structure found at the 5' ends of eukaryotic mRNAs. The specificity of RNA capping enzymes towards GTP for the synthesis of this structure is therefore crucial for ...

The neural crest‐associated gene ERRFI1 is involved in melanoma progression and resistance toward targeted therapy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
ERRFI1, a neural crest (NC)‐associated gene, was upregulated in melanoma and negatively correlated with the expression of melanocytic differentiation markers and the susceptibility of melanoma cells toward BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi). Knocking down ERRFI1 significantly increased the sensitivity of melanoma cells to BRAFi.

Photocaged Dinucleoside Tetraphosphates for Light‐Mediated Activation of 5′ Cap Interactions and Translation In Vitro

ChemistryEurope
Dinucleoside tetraphosphates (Np4N) have been reported as 5′ caps of RNAs in bacteria and mammalian cells. The guanosine‐based version (Gp4N) resembles the canonical eukaryotic 5′ cap (m7Gp3N), which is a central platform for cap‐interacting proteins ...

Structural basis and dynamics of Chikungunya alphavirus RNA capping by nsP1 capping pores

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2022
Alphaviruses are emerging positive-stranded RNA viruses which replicate and transcribe their genomes in membranous organelles formed in the cell cytoplasm. The nonstructural protein 1 (nsP1) is responsible for viral RNA capping and gates the replication organelles by assembling into monotopic membrane-associated dodecameric pores ...

Subtype‐specific enhancer RNAs define transcriptional regulators and prognosis in breast cancers

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study employed machine learning methodologies to perform the subtype‐specific classification of RNA‐seq data sets, which are mapped on enhancers from TCGA‐derived breast cancer patients. Their integration with gene expression (referred to as ProxCReAM eRNAs) and chromatin accessibility profiles has the potential to identify lineage‐specific and ...

Fine Mapping of Stripe-Rust-Resistance Gene YrJ22 in Common Wheat by BSR-Seq and MutMap-Based Sequencing

Plants, 2022
Identification and accurate mapping of new resistance genes are essential for gene pyramiding in wheat breeding. The YrJ22 gene is a dominant stripe-rust-resistance gene located at the distal end of chromosome 2AL, which was identified in a leading ...

Sequestering the 5′‐cap for viral RNA packaging

BioEssays, 2022
AbstractMany viruses evolved mechanisms for capping the 5′‐ends of their plus‐strand RNAs as a means of hijacking the eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA) splicing/translation machinery. Although capping is critical for replication, the RNAs of these viruses have other essential functions including their requirement to be packaged as either genomes or pre ...

RIPK4 function interferes with melanoma cell adhesion and metastasis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
RIPK4 promotes melanoma growth and spread. RIPK4 levels increase as skin lesions progress to melanoma. CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated deletion of RIPK4 causes melanoma cells to form less compact spheroids, reduces their migratory and invasive abilities and limits tumour growth and dissemination in mouse models.
