Photocaged dinucleoside tetraphosphates can be incorporated into mRNA by T7 RNA polymerase. Subsequent irradiation with light activates 5′ cap interactions and translation. These 5′ cap analogs are useful tools to probe the functions of naturally occurring dinucleoside tetraphosphates and their role in bacteria and mammalian cells.

Conserved Functions of LARP1 Proteins in Eukaryotes
LARP1 proteins are evolutionary conserved, and their function is influenced by both independent and coordinated roles of the La Motif and DM15 region, with a net effect on mRNA translation and stability. ABSTRACT La and La‐related proteins (LARPs) are conserved RNA‐binding proteins that share a characteristic La motif (LaM) and have important functions

The Exonuclease Xrn1 : a key regulator of gene expression under physiological and perturbed conditions [PDF]
The highly conserved exonuclease Xrn1 plays a dual role in gene expression by degrading cellular mRNAs and promoting their transcription initiation and elongation.

Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation: Mechanisms, Roles, and Implications in Cellular Function and Disease
Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) is a fundamental biophysical process responsible for forming membraneless organelles involved in key cellular functions like chromatin organization and gene expression. Dysregulation of LLPS contributes to various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders.

FTO regulates the translation of IGFBP3 by demethylating m6A sites in the 3′‐untranslated region of IGFBP3 mRNA. Binding of the m6A reader protein IMP3 to 3′UTR m6A sites in IGFBP3 mRNA promoted its localisation and sequestration in cellular organelles known as to P‐bodies, thereby suppressing IGFBP3 mRNA translation. IGFBP3 regulates activation of the

Uncovering a novel function of the exonuclease Xrn1 in viral and cellular mRNA translation [PDF]
The exonuclease Xrn1 degrades messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and controls transcription. By using a model system that replicates brome mosaic virus (BMV) in yeast, here we show that Xrn1 promotes translation initiation of BMV RNA.

Small Nucleolar RNAs: Biological Functions and Diseases
The majority of snoRNAs are derived from the intron region of genes, besides to intronic snoRNAs, some snoRNAs are transcribed as independent genes, often by Pol II or III, these snoRNAs are called intergenic snoRNAs. All of these play a role in the occurrence and progression of various diseases through multiple functions.

Unraveling the Role of Topoisomerase 3β (TOP3B) in mRNA Translation and Human Disease
The human genome encodes six topoisomerases—TOP1, TOP1mt, TOP2A, TOP2B, TOP3A, and TOP3B. The subcellular localization of each is shown. TOP3B, which harbors a bona fide RNA‐binding domain, predominantly localizes to the cytosol and is reported to function in mRNA translation and stability.
