Xrn1 is a deNADding enzyme modulating mitochondrial NAD-capped RNA [PDF]
The cytoplasmic Xrn1 protein has long been established as the predominate 5′ to 3′ exoribonuclease that cleaves RNAs with an unprotected 5′ monophosphate end. Here the authors demonstrate Xrn1 can also degrade RNAs harboring the noncanonical nicotinamide

Conserved mechanism of Xrn1 regulation by glycolytic flux and protein aggregation [PDF]
The regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes relies largely on the action of exoribonucleases, evolutionarily conserved enzymes that digest decapped messenger RNAs in the 5’-3’ direction.

The exonuclease Xrn1 activates transcription and translation of mRNAs encoding membrane proteins [PDF]
The exonuclease Xrn1 mediates crosstalk between transcription and mRNA decay in yeast. Here the authors demonstrate that Xrn1 promotes translation of mRNAs encoding membrane proteins, coupling transcription, translation, and mRNA decay.

XRN1 deletion induces PKR-dependent cell lethality in interferon-activated cancer cells
Summary: Emerging data suggest that induction of viral mimicry responses through activation of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) sensors in cancer cells is a promising therapeutic strategy. One approach to induce viral mimicry is to target molecular regulators

Retroelement decay by the exonuclease XRN1 is a viral mimicry dependency in cancer
Summary: Viral mimicry describes the immune response induced by endogenous stimuli such as double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) from endogenous retroelements.

Neuronal XRN1 is required for maintenance of whole-body metabolic homeostasis [PDF]
Summary: Control of mRNA stability and degradation is essential for appropriate gene expression, and its dysregulation causes various disorders, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, and obesity.

Characterization of exoribonuclease XRN1 as a cancer target and identification of adenosine-3’,5’-bisphosphate as a potent enzyme inhibitor [PDF]
XRN1 (5’-3’ exoribonuclease 1) degrades RNA from the 5′ → 3′ direction and utilizes both single- and double-stranded RNA as substrates. XRN1 plays a critical role in mRNA turnover as well as regulating the cellular response to viral infection.

Proper 5'-3' cotranslational mRNA decay in yeast requires import of Xrn1 to the nucleus. [PDF]
The budding yeast Xrn1 protein shuttles between the nucleus, where it stimulates transcription, and the cytoplasm, where it executes the major cytoplasmic mRNA decay. In the cytoplasm, apart from catalyzing 5'→3' decay onto non translated mRNAs, Xrn1 can

The zinc finger protein ZFP36L2 inhibits flavivirus infection via the 5′-3′ XRN1-mediated RNA decay pathway in the replication complexes [PDF]
Background The zinc finger protein 36-like (ZFP36L) family is a CCCH-type group consisting of RNA-binding proteins, i.e., ZFP36L1 and ZFP36L2, which regulate cellular mRNA through the RNA decay pathway. ZFP36L1 combats flavivirus infections through the 5′
