Several mechanisms have evolved that regulate the biogenesis of specific classes of small RNA using variations on the same core processing machinery. Most animals encode a single Dicer protein ...
Most of these proteins are RNA-binding proteins that are involved in distinct steps of RNA processing, maturation, transport and the regulation of RNA stability and translation. Interestingly ...
Alternative pathways of RNA processing are regulated in response to signaling cues often coordinating expression of gene networks in response to physiological change including in development and ...
A research team from the University of Barcelona's Institute of Neurosciences described a novel molecular mechanism that modifies protein synthesis and impacts RNA processing in Alzheimer's ...
RNA breaks destined for repair are inflicted by sequence-specific or structure-specific endoribonucleases during physiological RNA processing (e.g. tRNA splicing; kinetoplast mRNA editing) and under ...
A University of California, Irvine-led research team has discovered intricate molecular mechanisms driving the RNA processing defects that lead to Huntington's disease and link HD with other ...
Trypanosomes are parasites that cause sleeping sickness, Chagas disease, and various animal diseases. Diagnosis and treatment remain complex and no effective vaccine has been developed. A better ...
We study minor spliceosome which is a parallel pre-mRNA splicing machinery in the cells of most metazoan organisms. Our main aim is to investigate mechanism and regulation of this nuclear machinery, ...
This study not only discovered a novel 3′ UTR-derived sRNA but also expanded the understanding of RNase III-mediated RNA processing. It highlights the critical role of ManNAc in bacterial ...
