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.

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.

The nucleolus is the site for inflammatory RNA decay during infection. [PDF]
Inflammatory cytokines are key signaling molecules that can promote an immune response, thus their RNA turnover must be tightly controlled during infection.

LSM1-mediated Major Satellite RNA decay is required for nonequilibrium histone H3.3 incorporation into parental pronuclei. [PDF]
Epigenetic reprogramming of the parental genome is essential for zygotic genome activation and subsequent embryo development in mammals. Asymmetric incorporation of histone H3 variants into the parental genome has been observed previously, but the ...

RNA decay is an antiviral defense in plants that is counteracted by viral RNA silencing suppressors. [PDF]
Exonuclease-mediated RNA decay in plants is known to be involved primarily in endogenous RNA degradation, and several RNA decay components have been suggested to attenuate RNA silencing possibly through competing for RNA substrates.

Technologies for Targeted RNA Degradation and Induced RNA Decay. [PDF]
The vast majority of the human genome codes for RNA, but RNA-targeting therapeutics account for a small fraction of approved drugs. As such, there is great incentive to improve old and develop new approaches to RNA targeting.

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.

Genome‐wide study of mRNA degradation and transcript elongation in Escherichia coli [PDF]
An essential part of gene expression is the coordination of RNA synthesis and degradation, which occurs in the same cellular compartment in bacteria.

Dynamic FMR1 granule phase switch instructed by m6A modification contributes to maternal RNA decay. [PDF]
Maternal RNA degradation is critical for embryogenesis and is tightly controlled by maternal RNA-binding proteins. Fragile X mental-retardation protein (FMR1) binds target mRNAs to form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes/granules that control various ...

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.
