Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

AMPK phosphosite profiling by label-free mass spectrometry reveals a multitude of mTORC1-regulated substrates

npj Metabolic Health and Disease
The nutrient-sensitive protein kinases AMPK and mTORC1 form a fundamental negative feedback loop that governs cell growth and proliferation. mTORC1 phosphorylates α2-S345 in the AMPK αβγ heterotrimer to suppress its activity and promote cell ...

Expanding access to HIV viral load testing: a systematic review of RNA stability in EDTA tubes and PPT beyond current time and temperature thresholds.

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundHIV viral load (VL) testing is the gold standard for antiretroviral treatment monitoring, but many barriers exist to VL testing in resource-limited settings, including storage and transport limitations for whole blood and plasma.

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus ORF57 protein binds and protects a nuclear noncoding RNA from cellular RNA decay pathways. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
The control of RNA stability is a key determinant in cellular gene expression. The stability of any transcript is modulated through the activity of cis- or trans-acting regulatory factors as well as cellular quality control systems that ensure the ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Neuronal Cells Display Distinct Stability Controls of Alternative Polyadenylation mRNA Isoforms, Long Non-Coding RNAs, and Mitochondrial RNAs

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
RNA stability plays an important role in gene expression. Here, using 3′ end sequencing of newly made and pre-existing poly(A)+ RNAs, we compare transcript stability in multiple human cell lines, including HEK293T, HepG2, and SH-SY5Y.

Analysis of RNA decay factor mediated RNA stability contributions on RNA abundance [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2015
Histone epigenome data determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) is used in identifying transcript regions and estimating expression levels. However, this estimation does not always correlate with eventual RNA expression levels measured by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

A Conserved Histophilus somni 23S Intervening Sequence Yields Functional, Fragmented 23S rRNA

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
Histophilus somni is a Gram-negative bacterial organism that acts as an opportunistic pathogen and is a fastidious member of the Pasteurellaceae family associated with diseases of respiratory, reproductive, cardiac, and other tissues of ruminants.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...
