Transcription Is Just the Beginning of Gene Expression Regulation: The Functional Significance of RNA-Binding Proteins to Post-transcriptional Processes in Plants [PDF]
AbstractPlants have developed sophisticated mechanisms to compensate and respond to ever-changing environmental conditions. Research focus in this area has recently shifted towards understanding the post-transcriptional mechanisms that contribute to RNA transcript maturation, abundance and function as key regulatory steps in allowing plants to properly

Background Expanded GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeats, ranging from hundreds to thousands in number, located in the noncoding region of the chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 ( C9orf72 ) gene represent the most common genetic abnormality for familial and ...

Neurons are morphologically complex cells that rely on the compartmentalization of protein expression to develop and maintain their extraordinary cytoarchitecture. This formidable task is achieved, at least in part, by targeting mRNA to subcellular compartments where they are rapidly translated.

A genome-wide tethering screen reveals novel potential post-transcriptional regulators in Trypanosoma brucei. [PDF]
In trypanosomatids, gene expression is regulated mainly by post-transcriptional mechanisms, which affect mRNA processing, translation and degradation. Currently, our understanding of factors that regulate either mRNA stability or translation is rather ...

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of the cell cycle and RNA polymerase II mediated transcription. Several pharmacological CDK inhibitors are currently in clinical trials as potential cancer therapeutics and some of them also exhibit antiviral effects.

Transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes regulate expression of RNA encoding the small subunit of ribulose-1, 5-biphosphate carboxylase differently in petunia and in soybean [PDF]
The effects of white light, far-red light and darkness on the in vitro transcription and RNA levels of the small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcS) were investigated in petunia and in soybean. In petunia plants treated with 48 hours of darkness the in vitro transcription rate of two of the rbcS subfamilies of petunia, rbcS A and ...

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

Mycobacterial RNA isolation optimized for non-coding RNA: high fidelity isolation of 5S rRNA from Mycobacterium bovis BCG reveals novel post-transcriptional processing and a complete spectrum of modified ribonucleosides [PDF]
A major challenge in the study of mycobacterial RNA biology is the lack of a comprehensive RNA isolation method that overcomes the unusual cell wall to faithfully yield the full spectrum of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) species. Here, we describe a simple and robust procedure optimized for the isolation of total ncRNA, including 5S, 16S and 23S ribosomal RNA (
