PNLDC1 deadenylase affects translational rate and cell proliferation in mESCs
PNLDC1 is a member of the DEDD deadenylases, known for its specificity in poly(A) tail removal during mRNA turnover. While initially characterized for its function in pre-piRNA trimming critical to spermatogenesis and transposon silencin...

Preferential G3BP1-induced condensation of DNA-RNA mixtures from stress granules over RNA or double-stranded DNA
G3BP1 is a regulator of stress granule assembly capable of driving condensation of RNA in vitro. Recently, we purified stress granule cores from yeast and mammalian cells, and found that in addition to RNA and proteins, they contain larg...

Optimization of Circle-Seq improves transcription error profiling and transcriptome representation
Errors in transcription generate transient RNA variants that are amplified through translation, with potential consequences for cellular phenotypes and RNA-based therapeutics. Accurate detection of these rare events relies on high-fideli...

Psi RNA-specific Binding Promotes HIV-1 Gag Conformational Change Critical for Immature Viral Particle Assembly
The immature HIV-1 virion is assembled by the Gag polyprotein using inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) as an essential assembly co-factor. Gag binds the genomic RNA Psi packaging signal via the nucleocapsid (NC) domain and associates with t...

Verification of human nucleotide sequence reagents and cell line identities in original circRNA articles published in high impact factor journals
Numbers of research articles studying circRNAs have increased rapidly since 2017. Previous analyses of human circRNA articles in two high impact factor cancer research journals identified papers with wrongly identified nucleotide sequenc...

Enterovirus RNase L inhibiting RNAs are highly conserved with limited phylogenetic distribution
RNA molecules form specific 3D structures that facilitate a variety of functions through interactions with other macromolecules. Many RNA viral genomes maintain these structures to interact with and evade host immunity machinery. One suc...

Pharmacological inhibitors of the nonsense-mediated RNA decay identified by high-throughput screening
A relevant percentage of genetic diseases (~10%) are caused by premature termination codon (PTC) mutations, including cystic fibrosis (CF). CF patients carrying a nonsense mutation in the CFTR gene are insensitive to CFTR modulators and ...

Transcript-wide m6A methylation defines the efficiency of cap-independent translation initiation
N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) plays an important role in translation control and, particularly, in cap-independent initiation. The impact of m⁶A is usually studied in the context of its location in the transcripts, but the global impact of m⁶...

Trypanosome Tpt1 is a bifunctional enzyme composed of tandem DEDDh nuclease and RNA 2'-phosphotransferase domains
RNA 2'-phosphotransferase Tpt1 is a widely distributed enzyme that removes an internal RNA 2'-phosphate by transfer to NAD+. Tpt1 is essential in fungi, where it erases the 2'-PO4 mark installed by tRNA ligase during tRNA splicing. Tpt1 ...

18S rRNA 3′ end cleavage by the phosphorylated endoribonuclease NOB1 is interconnected with early small subunit biogenesis
Processing of the precursor ribosomal RNAs (pre-rRNAs) is a key aspect of ribosomal subunit assembly that is closely coordinated with other maturation events. The ribonucleases that mediate pre-rRNA cleavages require regulation to ensure...
