Traditional biochemical methods for enzyme detection are mainly based on antibody-based
immunoassays, which lack the ability to monitor the spatiotemporal distribution and, in …

Fluorescent probes for detection and bioimaging of leucine aminopeptidase

Y Chen - Materials Today Chemistry, 2020 - Elsevier
Leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) is one of important proteolytic enzymes and closely related
with pathogenesis of cancer and liver injury. Determination of LAP activity in serum is used …

Inborn errors of RNA lariat metabolism in humans with brainstem viral infection

SY Zhang, NE Clark, CA Freije, E Pauwels, AJ Taggart… - Cell, 2018 - cell.com
Viruses that are typically benign sometimes invade the brainstem in otherwise healthy
children. We report bi-allelic DBR1 mutations in unrelated patients from different ethnicities …

The debranching enzyme Dbr1 regulates lariat turnover and intron splicing

L Buerer, NE Clark, A Welch, C Duan… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
The majority of genic transcription is intronic. Introns are removed by splicing as branched
lariat RNAs which require rapid recycling. The branch site is recognized during splicing …

Metal content and kinetic properties of yeast RNA lariat debranching enzyme Dbr1

NE Clark, A Katolik, AJ Taggart, L Buerer, SP Holloway… - Rna, 2022 - rnajournal.cshlp.org
In eukaryotic cells, intron lariats produced by the spliceosome contain a 2′ 5′
phosphodiester linkage. The RNA lariat debranching enzyme, Dbr1, is the only enzyme …

Activation of human RNA lariat debranching enzyme Dbr1 by binding protein TTDN1 occurs though an intrinsically disordered C-terminal domain

NE Clark, A Katolik, P Gallant, A Welch… - Journal of Biological …, 2023 - ASBMB
In eukaryotic cells, the introns are excised from pre-mRNA by the spliceosome. These
introns typically have a lariat configuration due to the 2′-5′ phosphodiester bond between …

Crystal structure of the RNA lariat debranching enzyme Dbr1 with hydrolyzed phosphorothioate RNA product

NE Clark, A Katolik, A Welch, C Schorl… - Biochemistry, 2022 - ACS Publications
The RNA lariat debranching enzyme is the sole enzyme responsible for hydrolyzing the 2′-
5′ phosphodiester bond in RNA lariats produced by the spliceosome. Here, we test the …

An unknown essential function of tRNA splicing endonuclease is linked to the integrated stress response and intron debranching

JE Hurtig, A van Hoof - Genetics, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Abstract tRNA splicing endonuclease (TSEN) has a well-characterized role in transfer RNA
(tRNA) splicing but also other functions. For yeast TSEN, these other functions include …

The role of PRMT5 in regulating the expression of circular intronic RNAs

Z Han - 2023 - escholarship.mcgill.ca
The protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is frequently overexpressed in human
cancer whose elevated activity is associated with poor clinical prognosis. Pharmacologic …

[PDF][PDF] Biochemical investigation of lariat debranching enzyme and spliceosomal RNA through the use of backbone branched RNA

S Mack - 2018 - kilthub.cmu.edu
Lariat introns are generated during pre-mRNA splicing. The 2'-OH of the branch point
residue is linked to the 5'-terminus of the intron through a 2'-5'-phosphodiester bond. The 2' …
