Amplifying gene expression with RNA-targeted therapeutics

RNA-targeted NBTs that are currently being used to upregulate gene expression address both transcriptional and translational mechanisms and can be roughly divided into two groups: (1) NBTs that increase mRNA abundance by enhancing transcription or increasing mRNA stability (Fig. 3) and (2) NBTs that optimize translation (Fig. 4). Strategies in the first…

PolyAMiner-Bulk: A Machine Learning Based Bioinformatics Algorithm to Infer and Decode Alternative Polyadenylation Dynamics from bulk RNA-seq data

Abstract More than half of human genes exercise alternative polyadenylation (APA) and generate mRNA transcripts with varying 3′ untranslated regions (UTR). However, current computational approaches for identifying C/PASs and quantifying 3’UTR length changes from bulk RNA-seq data fail to unravel actual tissue- and disease-specific APA dynamics. Here, we developed a…

The Ribosomal Protein RpL22 Interacts In Vitro with 5′-UTR Sequences Found in Some Drosophila melanogaster Transposons

Mobility of eukaryotic transposable elements (TEs) are finely regulated to avoid an excessive mutational load caused by their movement. The transposition of retrotransposons is usually regulated through the interaction of host- and TE-encoded proteins, with non-coding regions (LTR and 5′-UTR) of the transposon. Examples of new potent cis-acting sequences, identified…
