MicroRNA genes and their target 3'-untranslated regions are infrequently somatically mutated in ovarian cancers. [PDF]
MicroRNAs are key regulators of gene expression and have been shown to have altered expression in a variety of cancer types, including epithelial ovarian cancer.

Recombinants between Deformed wing virus and Varroa destructor virus-1 may prevail in Varroa destructor-infested honeybee colonies [PDF]
We have used high-throughput Illumina sequencing to identify novel recombinants between deformed wing virus (DWV) and Varroa destructor virus-1 (VDV-1), which accumulate to higher levels than DWV in both honeybees and Varroa destructor mites.

The role of the 5′ untranslated regions of Potyviridae in translation
The Potyviridae family relies on a cap-independent translation mechanism to facilitate protein expression. The genomic architecture of the viral RNAs of the Potyviridae family resembles those of the animal picornaviruses. The viral genomes lack a 5' cap structure. Instead, they have the viral protein VPg covalently linked to the 5' end of the RNA.

Transcriptional Repression, a Novel Function for 3' Untranslated Regions [PDF]
The transcription rates of the rat serine protease inhibitor 2.3 and 2.1 genes (spi 2.3 and spi 2.1), which are normally very low and high, respectively, are inversely modulated during inflammation. Two growth‐hormone‐response elements (GHRE‐I and GHRE‐II) maintain the spi 2.1 gene under the stringent control of growth hormone [Le Cam, A., Pantescu, V.,

The Roles of Picornavirus Untranslated Regions in Infection and Innate Immunity [PDF]
Viral genomes have evolved to maximize their potential of overcoming host defense mechanisms and to induce a variety of disease syndromes. Structurally, a genome of a virus consists of coding and noncoding regions, and both have been shown to contribute to initiation and progression of disease.

miRNA‐29 regulates epidermal and mesenchymal functions in skin repair
miRNA‐29 inhibits cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐matrix adhesion by silencing mRNA targets. Adhesion is controlled by complex interactions between many types of molecules coded by mRNAs. This is crucial for keeping together the layers of the skin and for regenerating the skin after wounding.

The parasite Trypanosoma brucei grows as bloodstream forms in mammalian hosts, and as procyclic forms in tsetse flies. In trypanosomes, gene expression regulation depends heavily on post-transcriptional mechanisms.

Messenger RNA targeting to endoplasmic reticulum stress signalling sites. [PDF]
Deficiencies in the protein-folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in all eukaryotic cells lead to ER stress and trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR).

Characterization of 3'-untranslated region of the mouse GDNF gene [PDF]
Abstract Background Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a potent survival factor for many cell types, and its expression is widespread both within and outside of the nervous system. The regulation of GDNF expression has been extensively investigated but is not fully understood.
