On the Ribosomal Density that Maximizes Protein Translation Rate. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 During mRNA translation, several ribosomes attach to the same mRNA molecule simultaneously translating it into a protein. This pipelining increases the protein translation rate.

A Unifying Scenario on the Origin and Evolution of Cellular and Viral Domains [PDF]
, 2009 The cellular theory on the nature of life has been one of the first major advancements in biology. Viruses, however, are the most abundant life forms, and their exclusion from mainstream biology and the Tree of Life (TOL) is a major paradox in biology ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Caloric Restriction Induces MicroRNAs to Improve Mitochondrial Proteostasis
iScience, 2019 Summary: Both caloric restriction (CR) and mitochondrial proteostasis are linked to longevity, but how CR maintains mitochondrial proteostasis in mammals remains elusive. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are well known for gene silencing in cytoplasm and have recently

Syncrip/hnRNP Q is required for activity-induced Msp300/Nesprin-1 expression and new synapse formation. [PDF]
, 2019 Memory and learning involve activity-driven expression of proteins and cytoskeletal reorganization at new synapses, requiring posttranscriptional regulation of localized mRNA a long distance from corresponding nuclei.

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

Messenger RNA Fluctuations and Regulatory RNAs Shape the Dynamics of Negative Feedback Loop
, 2010 Single cell experiments of simple regulatory networks can markedly differ from cell population experiments. Such differences arise from stochastic events in individual cells that are averaged out in cell populations.

Identification of HuR target circular RNAs uncovers suppression of PABPN1 translation by CircPABPN1
RNA Biology, 2017 HuR influences gene expression programs and hence cellular phenotypes by binding to hundreds of coding and noncoding linear RNAs. However, whether HuR binds to circular RNAs (circRNAs) and impacts on their function is unknown. Here, we have identified en
