Translational synthetic biology [PDF]
Systems and Synthetic Biology, 2015 Synthetic biology is a recent scientific approach towards engineering biological systems from both pre-existing and novel parts. The aim is to introduce computational aided design approach in biology leading to rapid delivery of useful applications. Though the term reprogramming has been frequently used in the synthetic biology community, currently the

UPF1: From mRNA Surveillance to Protein Quality Control
Biomedicines, 2021 Selective recognition and removal of faulty transcripts and misfolded polypeptides are crucial for cell viability. In eukaryotic cells, nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) constitutes an mRNA surveillance pathway for sensing and degrading aberrant ...

LC3B is an RNA-binding protein to trigger rapid mRNA degradation during autophagy
Nature Communications, 2022 LC3/ATG8 plays an essential role in autophagy. Here the authors show that LC3B exhibits RNA-binding ability and induces rapid degradation of target mRNAs via autophagic activation, highlighting the interplay between autophagy and RNA biology.

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay factor UPF1 promotes aggresome formation
Nature Communications, 2020 Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a translation-coupled process that eliminates mRNAs containing premature translation-termination codons. Here the authors identify a role for the NMD factor UPF1 in protein quality control, whereby truncated ...

Telomere biology and translational research [PDF]
Translational Research, 2013 Origins. The appreciation that there might be something special about chromosome ends began in the 1930s through 2 independent observations. Herman Muller, working with fruit flies, noticed that x rays caused chromosome breakages and that the broken ends subsequently fused with each other. He noticed that the real ends of chromosomes never took part in
