Quantitative analysis of snoRNA association with pre-ribosomes and release of snR30 by Rok1 helicase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In yeast, three small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are essential for the processing of pre-ribosomal RNA—U3, U14 and snR30—whereas 72 non-essential snoRNAs direct site-specific modification of pre-rRNA. We applied a quantitative screen for alterations in the

Conserved structural motifs in PAS, LOV, and CRY proteins regulate circadian rhythms and are therapeutic targets

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cryptochrome and PAS/LOV proteins play intricate roles in circadian clocks where they act as both sensors and mediators of protein–protein interactions. Their ubiquitous presence in signaling networks has positioned them as targets for small‐molecule therapeutics. This review provides a structural introduction to these protein families.

RNA processing: Pocket guides to ribosomal RNA [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 1997
The functional role of a recently identified class of small nucleolar (sno) RNAs has been elucidated: the 'box H/ACA' snoRNAs act as guide RNAs, specifying the position of evolutionarily conserved pseudouridines in ribosomal (r)RNA via an rRNA-snoRNA base-pairing interaction that forms a 'pseudouridine pocket'.

Enzymatic Processing of Platinated RNAs [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, 2010
The broadly prescribed antitumor drug cisplatin coordinates to DNA, altering the activity of cellular proteins whose functions rely upon sensing DNA structure. Cisplatin is also known to coordinate to RNA, but the effects of RNA-Pt adducts on the large number of proteins that process the transcriptome are currently unknown.

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

RNA regulatory processes in RNA virus biology

open access: yesWIREs RNA, 2019
AbstractNumerous post‐transcriptional RNA processes play a major role in regulating the quantity, quality and diversity of gene expression in the cell. These include RNA processing events such as capping, splicing, polyadenylation and modification, but also aspects such as RNA localization, decay, translation, and non‐coding RNA‐associated regulation ...

Poliovirus mutant that contains a cold-sensitive defect in viral RNA synthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
By manipulating an infectious cDNA clone of poliovirus, we have introduced a single-codon insertion into the 3A region of the viral genome which has been proposed to encode a functional precursor of the virion-linked protein VPg. The resulting mutant was

High-throughput, Efficient, and Unbiased Capture of Small RNAs from Low-input Samples for Sequencing. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
MicroRNAs hold great promise as biomarkers of disease. However, there are few efficient and robust methods for measuring microRNAs from low input samples.

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Mitochondrial RNA processing in trypanosomes [PDF]

open access: yesResearch in Microbiology, 2011
The mitochondrial genome of trypanosomes is composed of ∼50 maxicircles and thousands of minicircles. Maxi-(∼25 kb) and mini-(∼1 kb)circles are catenated and packed into a dense structure called a kinetoplast. Both types of circular DNA are transcribed by a phage-like RNA polymerase: maxicircles yield multicistronic rRNA and mRNA precursors, while ...
