Traffic into silence: endomembranes and post-transcriptional RNA silencing. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are small RNAs that repress gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in plants and animals. Small RNAs guide Argonaute-containing RNA-induced silencing complexes to target RNAs in a sequence-

Beyond transcription factors: roles of mRNA decay in regulating gene expression in plants [version 1; referees: 3 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2018
Gene expression is typically quantified as RNA abundance, which is influenced by both synthesis (transcription) and decay. Cytoplasmic decay typically initiates by deadenylation, after which decay can occur through any of three cytoplasmic decay pathways.

A 212-nt long RNA structure in the Tobacco necrosis virus-D RNA genome is resistant to Xrn degradation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Plus-strand RNA viruses can accumulate viral RNA degradation products during infections. Some of these decay intermediates are generated by the cytosolic 5′-to-3′ exoribonuclease Xrn1 (mammals and yeast) or Xrn4 (plants) and are formed when the enzyme ...

C9orf72 arginine-rich dipeptide repeats inhibit UPF1-mediated RNA decay via translational repression

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Expansion of an intronic (GGGGCC) n repeat region within the C9orf72 gene is a main cause of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (c9ALS/FTD). A hallmark of c9ALS/FTD is the accumulation of misprocessed RNAs, which are often

Additive and transcript-specific effects of KPAP1 and TbRND activities on 3' non-encoded tail characteristics and mRNA stability in Trypanosoma brucei. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Short, non-encoded oligo(A), oligo(U), or A/U tails can impact mRNA stability in kinetoplastid mitochondria. However, a comprehensive picture of the relative effects of these modifications in RNA stability is lacking.

Characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana Promoter Bidirectionality and Antisense RNAs by Inactivation of Nuclear RNA Decay Pathways

open access: yesThe Plant Cell, 2020
We report the existence of bidirectionally transcribed loci producing exosome-sensitive RNAs in Arabidopsis in which the produced RNAs are sources of small interfering RNAs, and exosome-sensitive transcripts antisense to genes encoding regulatory ...

HIV-1 RNA may decline more slowly in semen than in blood following initiation of efavirenz-based antiretroviral therapy. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) decreases HIV-1 RNA levels in semen and reduces sexual transmission from HIV-1-infected men. Our objective was to study the time course and magnitude of seminal HIV-1 RNA decay after initiation of efavirenz-based ART among 13

Inhibition of post-termination ribosome recycling at premature termination codons in UPF1 ATPase mutants

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Recognition and rapid degradation of mRNA harboring premature translation termination codons (PTCs) serves to protect cells from accumulating non-functional and potentially toxic truncated polypeptides. Targeting of PTC-containing transcripts is mediated

Writing a wrong: Coupled RNA polymerase II transcription and RNA quality control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Processing and maturation of precursor RNA species is coupled to RNA polymerase II transcription. Co-transcriptional RNA processing helps to ensure efficient and proper capping, splicing, and 3' end processing of different RNA species to help ensure ...

Nonsense-Mediated RNA Decay Factor UPF1 Is Critical for Posttranscriptional and Translational Gene Regulation in Arabidopsis

open access: yesThe Plant Cell, 2020
The RNA helicase and ATPase UPF1 affects transcriptome homeostasis and gene expression through nonsense-mediated RNA decay, splicing, and translation in Arabidopsis.
