RNA-Seq of the nucleolus reveals abundant SNORD44-derived small RNAs. [PDF]
Small non-coding RNAs represent RNA species that are not translated to proteins, but which have diverse and broad functional activities in physiological and pathophysiological states. The knowledge of these small RNAs is rapidly expanding in part through

In vivo analysis of NHPX reveals a novel nucleolar localization pathway involving a transient accumulation in splicing speckles [PDF]
The NHPX protein is a nucleolar factor that binds directly to a conserved RNA target sequence found in nucleolar box C/D snoRNAs and in U4 snRNA. Using enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP)– and enhanced cyan fluorescent protein–NHPX fusions, we ...

Atypical miRNA expression in temporal cortex associated with dysregulation of immune, cell cycle, and other pathways in autism spectrum disorders. [PDF]
BackgroundAutism spectrum disorders (ASDs) likely involve dysregulation of multiple genes related to brain function and development. Abnormalities in individual regulatory small non-coding RNA (sncRNA), including microRNA (miRNA), could have profound ...

The genetic and pharmacogenomic landscape of snoRNAs in human cancer
Emerging evidence has revealed significant roles for small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) in tumorigenesis. However, the genetic and pharmacogenomic landscape of snoRNAs has not been characterized.

A high-throughput assay for directly monitoring nucleolar rRNA biogenesis
Studies of the regulation of nucleolar function are critical for ascertaining clearer insights into the basic biological underpinnings of ribosome biogenesis (RB), and for future development of therapeutics to treat cancer and ribosomopathies.

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions
Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...

Small Nucleolar RNA and Small Nucleolar RNA Host Gene Signatures as Biomarkers for Pancreatic Cancer [PDF]
Abstract Objective: The objective of this study was to identify key molecules including small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) and small nucleolar RNA host genes (SNHGs) involved in pancreatic cancer.Methods: First, we screened the differentially expressed snoRNAs (DEsnoRNAs) and trend-related snoRNAs based on the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) dataset for

Cellular bases of the RNA metabolism dysfunction in motor neurons of a murine model of spinal muscular atrophy: Role of Cajal bodies and the nucleolus [PDF]
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by a homozygous deletion or mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene that leads to reduced levels of SMN protein resulting in degeneration of motor neurons (MNs).
