Evolutionary importance of translation elongation factor eEF1A variant switching:eEF1A1 down-regulation in muscle is conserved in Xenopus but is controlled at a post-transcriptional level [PDF]
Translation elongation isoform eEF1A1 has a pivotal role in protein synthesis and is almost ubiquitously expressed. In mice and rats that transcription of the gene encoding eEF1A1 is downregulated to undetectable levels in muscle after weaning; eEF1A1 is

Stress-Induced PARP Activation Mediates Recruitment of Drosophila Mi-2 to Promote Heat Shock Gene Expression [PDF]
Eukaryotic cells respond to genomic and environmental stresses, such as DNA damage and heat shock (HS), with the synthesis of poly-ADP-ribose] (PAR) at specific chromatin regions, such as DNA breaks or HS genes, by PAR polymerases (PARP). Little is known

Distinct Mechanisms for Induction and Tolerance Regulate the Immediate Early Genes Encoding Interleukin 1β and Tumor Necrosis Factor α [PDF]
Interleukin-1β and Tumor Necrosis Factor α play related, but distinct, roles in immunity and disease. Our study revealed major mechanistic distinctions in the Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling-dependent induction for the rapidly expressed genes (IL1B ...

NusG inhibits RNA polymerase backtracking by stabilizing the minimal transcription bubble
Universally conserved factors from NusG family bind at the upstream fork junction of transcription elongation complexes and modulate RNA synthesis in response to translation, processing, and folding of the nascent RNA.

Induction of herpes simplex virus (HSV) immediate early (IE) gene transcription promotes the initiation of lytic infection and reactivation from latency in sensory neurons. IE genes are transcribed by the cellular RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and regulated

The RNA Polymerase II-associated factor 1 complex represses small-RNA-mediated heterochromatin formation and gene silencing [PDF]
RNAi interference (RNAi) is a highly conserved regulatory mechanism employed by almost all Eukaryotes. With RNAi organisms can modulate the expression of endogenous genes and protect the integrity and identity of their genomes.

Subgenic Pol II interactomes identify region‐specific transcription elongation regulators
Transcription, RNA processing, and chromatin‐related factors all interact with RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to ensure proper timing and coordination of transcription and co‐transcriptional processes.

Control of translation elongation in health and disease
Regulation of protein synthesis makes a major contribution to post-transcriptional control pathways. During disease, or under stress, cells initiate processes to reprogramme protein synthesis and thus orchestrate the appropriate cellular response. Recent

Rice has the natural morphological adaptation to germinate and elongate its coleoptile under submerged flooding conditions. The phenotypic deviation associated with the tolerance to submergence at the germination stage could be due to natural variation ...

EloA promotes HEL polyploidization upon PMA stimulation through enhanced ERK1/2 activity
Megakaryocytes (MKs) are the unique non-pathological cells that undergo polyploidization in mammals. The polyploid formation is critical for understanding the MK biology, and transcriptional regulation is involved in the differentiation and maturation of
