CXCL8 in Tumor Biology and Its Implications for Clinical Translation
The chemokine CXCL8 has been found to play an important role in tumor progression in recent years. CXCL8 activates multiple intracellular signaling pathways by binding to its receptors (CXCR1/2), and plays dual pro-tumorigenic roles in the tumor ...

UPF1: From mRNA Surveillance to Protein Quality Control
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
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
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 ...
