RNA modification by M6A methylation in cardiovascular diseases: Current trends and future directions
N6-methyladenosine (M6A) is the most common modification in eukaryotic RNAs for the regulation of RNA transcription, processing, splicing, degradation, and translation.

Lithium alters expression of RNAs in a type-specific manner in differentiated human neuroblastoma neuronal cultures, including specific genes involved in Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
Lithium (Li) is a medication long-used to treat bipolar disorder. It is currently under investigation for multiple nervous system disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Probing RNA recognition by human ADAR2 using a high-throughput mutagenesis method. [PDF]
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

Broad role for YBX1 in defining the small noncoding RNA composition of exosomes. [PDF]
RNA is secreted from cells enclosed within extracellular vesicles (EVs). Defining the RNA composition of EVs is challenging due to their coisolation with contaminants, lack of knowledge of the mechanisms of RNA sorting into EVs, and limitations of ...

N6-methyladenosinen (m6A) methylation is a frequent RNA methylation modification that is regulated by three proteins: “writers”, “erasers”, and “readers”. The m6A modification regulates RNA stability and other mechanisms, including translation, cleavage,

The new era of RNA modification [PDF]
Since the inception of the journal RNA in 1995, we have witnessed significant advances in a number of areas of RNA research. Among them is the area of RNA modification. In the mid-1990's, a “sno” storm hit the RNA field, leading to the identification of a large number of small nucleolar RNAs, known as box H/ACA and box C/D snoRNAs.

Yeast Rrp8p, a novel methyltransferase responsible for m1A 645 base modification of 25S rRNA [PDF]
Ribosomal RNA undergoes various modifications to optimize ribosomal structure and expand the topological potential of RNA. The most common nucleotide modifications in ribosomal RNA (rRNA) are pseudouridylations and 2'-O methylations (Nm), performed by H ...

Nucleobase modification by an RNA enzyme [PDF]
Ribozymes can catalyze phosphoryl or nucleotidyl transfer onto ribose hydroxyls of RNA chains. We report a single ribozyme that performs both reactions, with a nucleobase serving as initial acceptor moiety. This unprecedented combined reaction was revealed while investigating potential contributions of ribose hydroxyls to catalysis by kinase ribozyme ...
