Viruses and the cellular RNA decay machinery. [PDF]
The ability to control cellular and viral gene expression, either globally or selectively, is central to a successful viral infection, and it is also crucial for the host to respond and eradicate pathogens.

In vitro RNA Cleavage Assays to Characterize IRE1-dependent RNA Decay [PDF]
The kinase/RNase IRE1 is a key effector of the cellular response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. The RNase activity of IRE1 can be measured in cells or in the test tube.

Full-length direct RNA sequencing uncovers stress granule-dependent RNA decay upon cellular stress [PDF]
Cells react to stress by triggering response pathways, leading to extensive alterations in the transcriptome to restore cellular homeostasis. The role of RNA metabolism in shaping the cellular response to stress is vital, yet the global changes in RNA ...

A rapid inducible RNA decay system reveals fast mRNA decay in P-bodies [PDF]
RNA decay is vital for regulating mRNA abundance and gene expression. Existing technologies lack the spatiotemporal precision or transcript specificity to capture the stochastic and transient decay process.

The zinc finger protein ZFP36L2 inhibits flavivirus infection via the 5′-3′ XRN1-mediated RNA decay pathway in the replication complexes [PDF]
Background The zinc finger protein 36-like (ZFP36L) family is a CCCH-type group consisting of RNA-binding proteins, i.e., ZFP36L1 and ZFP36L2, which regulate cellular mRNA through the RNA decay pathway. ZFP36L1 combats flavivirus infections through the 5′

Inference of RNA decay rate from transcriptional profiling highlights the regulatory programs of Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
The abundance of mRNA is mainly determined by the rates of RNA transcription and decay. Here, we present a method for unbiased estimation of differential mRNA decay rate from RNA-sequencing data by modeling the kinetics of mRNA metabolism.

Preparation of RNA 3’ End Sequencing Libraries of Total and 4-thiouracil Labeled RNA for Simultaneous Measurement of Transcription, RNA Synthesis and Decay in S. cerevisiae [PDF]
Cellular RNA levels are determined by the rates of RNA transcription from the gene template and subsequent RNA stability. Knowledge about both transcription and RNA decay is, therefore, necessary to interpret RNA levels and gene expression, especially ...

UPF1-Mediated RNA Decay—Danse Macabre in a Cloud [PDF]
Nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) is the prototype example of a whole family of RNA decay pathways that unfold around a common central effector protein called UPF1.
