RNA–protein interactions differ from DNA–protein interactions because of the central role of
RNA secondary structure. Some RNA‐binding domains (RBDs) recognize their target sites …

Messenger RNAs (mRNAs), the templates for translation, have evolved to harbor abundant
cis-acting sequences that affect their posttranscriptional fates. These elements are frequently …

Spatiotemporal gene regulation is often driven by RNA-binding proteins that harbor long
intrinsically disordered regions in addition to folded RNA-binding domains. We report that …

Drosophila Smaug and its orthologs comprise a family of mRNA repressor proteins that
exhibit various functions during animal development. Smaug proteins contain a …

Rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe grisea) forms a highly specialized infection structure for
plant penetration, the appressorium, the formation and growth of which are regulated by the …

The mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways have been characterized
in Fusarium graminearum. Currently, the upstream sensors of these pathways are unknown …

TENT4 enzymes generate 'mixed tails' of diverse nucleotides at 3′ ends of RNAs via
nontemplated nucleotide addition to protect messenger RNAs from deadenylation. Here we …

Summary Bicaudal-C (Bic-C) encodes an RNA-binding protein required maternally for
patterning the Drosophila embryo. We identified a set of mRNAs that associate with Bic-C in …

Background Smaug is an RNA-binding protein that induces the degradation and represses
the translation of mRNAs in the early Drosophila embryo. Smaug has two identified direct …

The ERG (ETS-related gene) transcription factor is linked to various types of cancer,
including leukemia. However, the specific ERG domains and co-factors contributing to …
