The functional meaning of 5′ UTR in protein-coding genes

N Ryczek, A Łyś, I Makałowska - International Journal of Molecular …, 2023 - mdpi.com
As it is well known, messenger RNA has many regulatory regions along its sequence length.
One of them is the 5′ untranslated region (5'UTR), which itself contains many regulatory …

Meiosis in budding yeast

GV Börner, A Hochwagen, AJ MacQueen - Genetics, 2023 - academic.oup.com

mechanism are rarely established. Noncoding single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) …

Cycloheximide can distort measurements of mRNA levels and translation efficiency

DA Santos, L Shi, BP Tu, JS Weissman - Nucleic acids research, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Regulation of the efficiency with which an mRNA is translated into proteins represents a key
mechanism for controlling gene expression. Such regulation impacts the number of actively …

The yeast RNA methylation complex consists of conserved yet reconfigured components with m6A-dependent and independent roles

I Ensinck, A Maman, WS Albihlal, M Lassandro… - Elife, 2023 - elifesciences.org
Abstract N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant mRNA modification, is deposited in

M Chia, C Li, S Marques, V Pelechano, NM Luscombe… - Genome biology, 2021 - Springer
Background The start and end sites of messenger RNAs (TSSs and TESs) are highly
regulated, often in a cell-type-specific manner. Yet the contribution of transcript diversity in …

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) reader Pho92 is recruited co-transcriptionally and couples translation to mRNA decay to promote meiotic fitness in yeast

RA Varier, T Sideri, C Capitanchik, Z Manova… - Elife, 2022 - elifesciences.org
