mRNA 3′ UTRs direct microRNA degradation to participate in imprinted gene networks and regulate growth
MicroRNAs direct downregulation of target mRNAs. Sometimes, however, this regulatory paradigm inverts, and a target RNA triggers the degradation of a microRNA. This target-directed microRNA degradatio...

mRNA poly(A)-tail length is a battleground for coronavirus–host competition
Most eukaryotic mRNAs contain a poly(A) tail, which in post-embryonic cells enhances their stability. Many cytoplasmic RNA viruses also harbor poly(A) tails on their genomic RNA and mRNAs. Here, we re...

Pleased to share my recent work from the Bartel Lab! Some miRNAs recognize novel target sites called 3'-only sites, which pair to the miRNA 3' region but not to the seed. These sites direct mRNA repression in cells and are engaged by different mechanisms to seed sites

Functional microRNA targeting without seed pairing
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) associate with Argonaute (AGO) proteins to serve as guides, directing binding to partially complementary sites in mRNAs, ultimately causing post-transcriptional repression. Compleme...

We’ve preprinted a small follow-up to our identification of MFSD12 as a mediator of lysosomal cysteine import. Would love to discuss, so please get in contact if you have comments or suggestions!

Quite a cool novel role for a snoRNA. I am curious how the structured domain of the SRP RNA becomes accessible for snoRNA73 binding and if this would disrupt SRP19 binding to the SRP RNA.
