1‐Hydroxy‐xanthine derivatives inhibit the human Caf1 nuclease and Caf1‐containing nuclease complexes via Mg2+‐dependent binding

FEBS Open Bio, 2019
In eukaryotic cells, cytoplasmic mRNA is characterised by a 3′ poly(A) tail. The shortening and removal of poly(A) tails (deadenylation) by the Ccr4‐Not nuclease complex leads to reduced translational efficiency and RNA degradation.

Control Strategies in Guanine Biocrystallization

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Biological guanine crystals produce spectacular photonic phenomena in animals and hold great promise as new, sustainable optical materials. We review how organisms precisely control the structure, morphologies, and resulting optical properties of these crystals using a set of ingenious ‘design’ strategies, including control of pH, template‐directed ...
