DNA methylation: old dog, new tricks?

abstract：:The exon-junction complex (EJC) functionally links splicing to subsequent mRNA localization, translation and stability. Sequence-independent binding of the EJC core to RNA is ensured by the DEAD-box helicase eIF4AIII. Here, we identified the splicing factor CWC22 as a new eIF4AIII partner in flies and humans. CWC22 co...

abstract：:We investigated co-transcriptional recruitment of pre-mRNA processing factors to human genes. Capping factors associate with paused RNA polymerase II (pol II) at the 5' ends of quiescent genes. They also track throughout actively transcribed genes and accumulate with paused polymerase in the 3' flanking region. The 3'...

abstract：:Tripeptidyl peptidase II (TPP II) is the largest known eukaryotic protease (6 MDa). It is believed to act downstream of the 26S proteasome, cleaving tripeptides from the N termini of longer peptides, and it is implicated in numerous cellular processes. Here we report the structure of Drosophila TPP II determined by a ...
